Contents
The goal oI The World Justice Project (WJP) is to advance the rule oI law around the world.
Establishing the rule oI law is Iundamental to achieving communities oI opportunity and equity
- communities that oIIer sustainable economic development, accountable government, and
respect Ior Iundamental rights. Without the rule oI law, medicines do not reach health Iacilities
due to corruption; women in rural areas remain unaware oI their rights; people are killed in
criminal violence; and frms` costs increase because oI expropriation risk. The rule oI law is
the key to improving public health, saIeguarding participation, ensuring security, and fghting
poverty.
Strengthening the rule oI law is a major goal oI governments, donors, businesses, and civil
society organizations around the world. To be eIIective, however, rule oI law development
requires clarity about the Iundamental Ieatures oI the rule oI law as well as an adequate basis Ior
its evaluation and measurement. Against this backdrop, the World Justice Project has developed
the WJP Rule oI Law Index a quantitative assessment tool designed to oIIer a comprehensive
picture oI the extent to which countries adhere to the rule oI law in practice. The WJP Rule of
Law Index 2012-2013 report, the third in an annual series, builds on fve years oI development,
intensive consultation, and vetting with academics, practitioners, and community leaders
Irom over 100 countries and 17 proIessional disciplines. This year`s report introduces the data
results and Index scores Ior 97 countries, together with key fndings and background on the
development oI the Index and its methodology.
The WJP Rule oI Law Index 2012-2013 looks at 48 rule oI law indicators
organized around nine conceptual dimensions: limited government powers;
absence oI corruption; order and security; Iundamental rights; open
government; regulatory enIorcement; civil justice; criminal justice; and
inIormal justice. The Index scores and rankings are constructed Irom over 400
variables drawn Irom two original sources oI data collected Irom independent
sources by the World Justice Project in each country: a General Population
Poll (GPP) and a series oI Qualifed Respondents` Questionnaires (QRQ).
To date, over 97,000 people and 2,500 experts Irom around the world have
participated in this project.
The Index is intended Ior a broad audience oI policy-makers, civil society, practitioners,
academics, and other constituencies. The rule oI law is not the rule oI lawyers and judges. All
elements oI society are stakeholders in the rule oI law. It is our hope that over time, this tool
will help identiIy strengths and weaknesses in each country under review and encourage policy
choices that advance the rule oI law.

The Index provides new data on nine
dimensions oI the rule oI law:
1. Limited government powers
2. Absence oI corruption
3. Order and security
4. Fundamental rights
5. Open government
6. Regulatory enIorcement
7. Civil justice
8. Criminal justice
9.
InIormal justice
These nine dimensions, or Iactors,
are Iurther disaggregated into 48
sub-Iactors. The scores oI these
sub-Iactors are built Irom over 400
variables drawn Irom assessments oI
the general public (1,000 respondents
per country) and local legal experts.
1
The outcome oI this exercise is one oI
the world`s most comprehensive data
sets measuring the extent to which
countries adhere to the rule oI law - not
in theory but in practice.
1 We are grateIul Ior the generous engagement oI the over 2,500
academics and practitioners around the world who contributed their time
and expertise to the qualifed respondents` questionnaires, and the 97,000
individuals who participated in the general population poll.
The WJP Rule oI Law Index is a
quantitative assessment tool designed
by the World Justice Project to oIIer
a comprehensive picture oI the extent
to which countries adhere to the rule
oI law, not in theory, but in practice.
The WJP Rule oI Law Index is derived
Irom a set oI principles that constitute
a working deIinition oI the rule oI
law. Adherence to these principles is
measured by means oI a large set oI
perIormance indicators that provide a
comprehensive and multidimensional
picture oI the status oI the rule oI law
in each country.
Rather than looking at laws, actors,
or institutional arrangements, the
WJP Rule oI Law Index assesses a
nation`s adherence to the rule oI law
by examining practical situations in
which a rule oI law deIicit could aIIect
the daily lives oI ordinary people. For
instance, the Index evaluates whether
citizens can access public services
without the need to bribe a government
oIIicer; whether a basic dispute among
neighbors or companies can be resolved
peaceIully and cost-eIIectively by an
independent adjudicator; and whether
people can conduct their daily activities
without Iear oI crime or police abuse.
These are among the common situations
that occur in the lives oI people and that
are directly inIluenced by the degree oI
rule oI law in the society.

and lessons learned during the WJ Ps
implementation of the Index in 97 countries
and jurisdictions.

These countries
account for more than 90 percent of the
worlds population. This years report
is based on data collected and analyzed
during the second quarter of 2012, with
the exception of general population data
for the countries indexed in 2011, which
was obtained during the fall of 2009 and
the spring of 2011.
It should be noted that because country
scores are normalized across the entire
sample of indexed countries and this
years report measures 31 additional
countries that were not included in the
2011 report, individual country fndings in
the 2012-2013 report are not comparable
to the results from prior years.
USES OF THE INDEX
The WJ P Rule of Law Index is an
instrument for strengthening the rule of
law. It offers reliable, independent, and
disaggregated information for policy
makers, businesses, non-governmental
organizations, and other constituencies
to:
Assess a nations adherence to the
rule of law in practice;
Identify a nations strengths and
weaknesses in comparison to
similarly situated countries; and
Track changes over time.
The WJ P Rule of Law Index enters a
crowded field of indicators on different
aspects of the rule of law, but it has a
number of features that set it apart:
2 As used in this volume, country includes autonomous jurisdictions,
such as Hong Kong SAR, China.
DEFINING THE RULE
OF LAW
As used by the World J ustice Project,
the rule of law refers to a system in
which the following four universal
principles are upheld:
I. The government and its oIfcials
and agents as well as individuals
and private entities are
accountable under the law.
II. The laws are clear, publicized,
stable, and just, are applied
evenly, and protect fundamental
rights, including the security of
persons and property.
III. The process by which the laws
are enacted, administered, and
enforced is accessible, fair, and
eIfcient.
IV. J ustice is delivered timely
by competent, ethical, and
independent representatives and
neutrals who are oI suIfcient
number, have adequate
resources, and refect the makeup
of the communities they serve.
These principles are derived from
international sources that enjoy broad
acceptance across countries with
differing social, cultural, economic, and
political systems, and incorporate both
substantive and procedural elements.

ABOUT THE WORLD
JUSTICE PROJECT
The World Justice Project (WJP) is an
independent, non-proIit organization
working to strengthen the rule oI law
throughout the world. It is based on two
complementary premises: Iirst, the rule
oI law is the Ioundation Ior communities
oI opportunity and equity; and second,
multidisciplinary collaboration is the
most eIIective way to advance the rule
oI law. The WJP`s work is being carried
out through three complementary and
mutually reinIorcing program areas:
Research and Scholarship, the World
Justice Project Rule oI Law Index,
and Mainstreaming through practical
on-the-ground programs to advance the
rule oI law. The World Justice Project
engages leaders in countries across
the globe and Irom many proIessional
disciplines to advance the rule oI law.
Through this multi-pronged approach,
the Project seeks to spur government
reIorms, develop practical on-the-
ground programs that support the rule
oI law, and increase understanding oI
the importance oI the rule oI law to
people and the communities in which
they live. Further details are provided
in the last section oI this report and at
www.worldjusticeproject.org.
Comprehensiveness: While other
indices cover aspects oI the rule oI
law, they do not yield a Iull picture
oI rule oI law compliance.
New data: The Index fndings
are based almost entirely on new
data collected by the WJP Irom
independent sources. This contrasts
it with other indices based on data
aggregated Irom third-party sources,
or on sources that are selI-reported
by governments or other interested
parties.
Rule of law in practice: The Index
measures adherence to the rule oI
law by looking not to the laws as
they are written, but rather at how
they are actually applied in practice.
Anchored in actual experiences:
The Index combines expert opinion
with rigorous polling oI the general
public to ensure that the fndings
refect the conditions experienced
by the population, including
marginalized sectors oI society.
Action oriented: Findings are
presented in disaggregated Iorm,
identiIying strong and weak
perIormers across the nine rule-oI-
law dimensions examined in each
country.
Despite these methodological strengths,
the Iindings should be interpreted in
light oI certain inherent limitations. The
Index is a diagnostic tool that provides
a general assessment oI the health oI
the rule oI law in a given country at a
particular moment in time. It does not
explain the causes oI the conditions
it describes, nor does it prescribe
remedies. In addition, no single index
can convey a Iull picture oI a country`s
situation. Rule oI law analysis requires
a careIul consideration oI multiple

WJP Rule of Law Index

INTRODUCTION
The WJP Rule oI Law Index is an
innovative quantitative assessment
tool designed to oIIer a detailed and
comprehensive picture oI the extent to
which countries adhere to the rule oI law
in practice. The Index provides new data
on nine dimensions oI the rule oI law:
limited government powers; absence
oI corruption; order and security;
Iundamental rights; open government;
regulatory enIorcement; civil justice;
criminal justice; and inIormal justice.
These nine aggregate indicators
(Iactors) are Iurther disaggregated into
48 speciIic indicators (sub-Iactors).
The Index looks at a nation`s adherence
to the rule oI law Irom the bottom up,
that is, Irom the perspective oI ordinary
people who are directly aIIected by the
degree oI rule oI law in their societies.
It examines practical, everyday
situations, such as whether people can
access public services without the need
to bribe a government oIIicer; whether
a basic dispute among neighbors or
companies can be resolved peaceIully
and cost-eIIectively by an independent
adjudicator; or whether people can
conduct their daily activities without
Iear oI crime or police abuse. Findings
are based on data derived Irom a poll
oI the general public and detailed
questionnaires administered to local
experts. The WJP Rule oI Law Index
Constructing the
WJP Rule of Law Index
2012-2013, the third report in an annual
series, introduces scores and rankings
Ior 97 countries. To date, over 2,500
experts and 97,000 other individuals
Irom around the world have participated
in this project.
It should be emphasized that the Index
is intended to be applied in countries
with vastly diIIering social, cultural,
economic, and political systems. No
society has ever attained - let alone
sustained - a perIect realization oI the
rule oI law. Every nation Iaces the
perpetual challenge oI building and
renewing the structures, institutions,
and norms that can support and sustain
a rule oI law culture.
DEFINING THE RULE
OF LAW
The design oI the Index began with the
eIIort to Iormulate a set oI principles that
would constitute a working deIinition
oI the rule oI law. The principles were
derived to the extent possible Irom
established international standards and
norms, and inIormed by a thorough
review oI national constitutions and
scholarly literature. The principles and
the Iactors derived Irom them were
tested and reIined through extensive
consultations with experts Irom around
the world to ensure, among other

things, their cultural competence, and
to avoid Western, Anglo-American, or
other biases.
Any eIIort to deIine the rule oI law
must grapple with the distinction
between what scholars call a 'thin or
minimalist conception oI the rule oI law
that Iocuses on Iormal, procedural rules,
and a 'thick conception that includes
substantive characteristics, such as selI-
government and various Iundamental
Box 1 : The rule of law in everyday life
Suppose the owner of a small business has a dispute with a client over a large, unpaid bill. What if her
only recourse to settle the dispute is through the threat of physical violence? Consider the bridges,
roads, or runways we traverse dailyor the offices and buildings in which we live, work, and play. What
if building codes governing their design and safety were not enforced? Or suppose someone broke into
your home and stole your belongings, and there was no means to reclaim your property and bring the
perpetrator to justice? Although we may not be aware of it, the rule of law is a profoundly important
part of our lives. It is the foundation for a system of rules to keep us safe, resolve disputes, and enable
us to prosper. Lets consider a few examples:
a. Business environment
Imagine an investor seeking to commit resources abroad. She would probably think twice
before investing in a country where corruption is rampant, property rights are ill-defined,
and contracts are difficult to enforce. Uneven enforcement of regulation, corruption,
insecure property rights, and ineffective means to settle disputes undermine legitimate
business and drive away both domestic and foreign investment.
b. Public works
Safe and reliable physical structures are essential to a thriving economy and an efficient
society. Yet corrupt practices in the construction process abound, discouraging honest
practitioners from entering the market through prohibitive bribery and kickback costs. In
many cases, for instance, it has been alleged that government officials and contractors have
been complicit in using low-quality materials in order to pocket the surplus. Transparency in
the procurement process and effectively enforced regulations and safety codes help curtail
illegal practices and increase the reliability and security of physical infrastructure.
c. Public health
Maintaining the physical health of a society is hugely reliant on its health care delivery
systems. Absenteeism, mismanagement, bribes, and informal payments undermine health
care delivery and waste scarce resources. Unfortunately, it is in poor countries that people
are most likely to have to pay bribes to obtain medical attention. As a result, many people do
not receive adequate medical care.
d. Environment
Countries around the world have laws to protect the environment. Unfortunately, these
laws are not always enforced. Weak enforcement of environmental laws can lead to major
problems, including pollution, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, natural disasters, and poor
waste management. Effective enforcement and appropriate management are useful tools
in protecting the environment and public health without unduly constraining economic
development. Adherence to the rule of law is essential to hold the government, businesses,
civil society organizations, and communities accountable for sound environmental policies.
The rule of law affects all of us in our everyday lives. It is not only important to lawyers and judges;
it matters to businessmen, builders, consumers, doctors, and journalists. Every sector of society is a
stakeholder in the rule of law.

The principles address the extent
to which a country provides for
fair participation in the making of
the lawscertainly an essential
attribute of self-government. But the
principles do not address the further
question of whether the laws are
enacted by democratically elected
representatives.
The principles address the extent
to which a country protects
fundamental human rights. But
given the impossibility of assessing
adherence to the full panoply of civil,
political, economic, social, cultural,
and environmental rights recognized
in the Universal Declaration, the
principles treat a more modest
menu of rights, primarily civil and
political, that are frmly established
under international law and bear the
most immediate relationship to rule
of law concerns.
The principles address access to
justice, but chiefy in terms oI
access to legal representation and
access to the courts, rather than
in the thicker sense in which
access to justice is sometimes seen
as synonymous with broad legal
empowerment of the poor and
rights and freedoms. On the one hand,
it was felt that if the Index was to have
utility and gain wide acceptance, the
definition must be broadly applicable
to many types of social and political
systems, including some which lack
many of the features that characterize
democratic nations. On the other hand, it
was recognized that the rule of law must
be more than merely a system of rules
- that indeed, a system of positive law
that fails to respect core human rights
guaranteed under international law is at
best rule by law, and does not deserve
to be called a rule of law system. In the
words of Arthur Chaskalson, former
Chief J ustice of South Africa,
[T]he apartheid government, its ocers and
agents were accountable in accordance with
the laws; the laws were clear; publicized, and
stable, and were upheld by law enforcement
ocials and judges. What was missing was the
substantive component of the rule of law. The
process by which the laws were made was not
fair (only whites, a minority of the population,
had the vote). And the laws themselves were not
fair. They institutionalized discrimination, vested
broad discretionary powers in the executive, and
failed to protect fundamental rights. Without a
substantive content there would be no answer to
the criticism, sometimes voiced, that the rule of
law is an empty vessel into which any law could
be poured.
The four universal principles that
emerged from our deliberations are
featured in Box 2.
These principles represent an effort to
strike a balance between thinner and
thicker conceptions of the rule of law,
incorporating both substantive and
procedural elements - a decision which
was broadly endorsed by the many
international experts with whom we
have consulted. A few examples may be
instructive:
Box 2 : Four Universal Principles of the Rule of Law
The WJP uses a working definition of the rule of law
based on four universal principles:
> The government and its officials and agents as well
as individuals and private entities are accountable
under the law.
> The laws are clear, publicized, stable, and just, are
applied evenly, and protect fundamental rights,
including the security of persons and property.
> The process by which the laws are enacted,
administered, and enforced is accessible, fair, and
efficient.
> Justice is delivered timely by competent, ethical,
and independent representatives and neutrals who
are of sufficient number, have adequate resources,
and reflect the makeup of the communities they
serve.

may interact with each other in
multiple ways. For example, concrete
improvements in one dimension oI
the rule oI law may aIIect societies in
more than one way, depending on the
prevailing cultural and institutional
environments. It is our hope that by
providing data on nine independent
dimensions oI the rule oI law, the Index
will become a useIul tool Ior academics
and other constituencies to Iurther our
understanding oI these interactions.
THE 2012-2013 WJP
RULE OF LAW INDEX
The WJP Rule oI Law Index
measures adherence to the rule oI law
principles through a comprehensive
and multidimensional set oI outcome
indicators that reveal the extent to which
these principles are observed in practice.
The 2012-2013 Index comprises nine
aggregate indicators (or Iactors). The
Iactors are Iurther disaggregated into
48 speciIic indicators (or sub-Iactors).
These indicators are presented in
the table on the Iollowing page and
described in detail in the section below.
Limited Government Powers
Factor 1 measures the extent to which
those who govern are bound by law. It
comprises the means, both constitutional
and institutional, by which the powers
oI the government and its oIIicials and
agents are limited and by which they
are held accountable under the law. It
also includes nongovernmental checks
on the government`s power, such as a
Iree and independent press.
disIranchised. Delivery oI justice in
this more limited sense is a critical
cornerstone Ior the implementation
oI policies and rights that empower
the poor.
In limiting the scope oI the principles in
this Iashion, we do not wish to suggest
any disagreement with a more robust
and inclusive vision oI selI-government,
Iundamental rights, or access to justice,
all oI which are addressed in other
important and inIluential indices, as
well as in various papers developed
by WJP scholars. Indeed, it is among
the premises oI the Project as a whole
that a healthy rule oI law is critical to
advancing such goals.
Moreover, the WJP`s conception oI the
rule oI law is not incompatible with the
notion that these universal principles
Box 3 : Updates to the Conceptual Framework
The WJP Rule of Law Index 2012-2013 report introduces
several conceptual changes. First, several sub-factors
from the Index 2011 report have been adjusted in the
Index 2012-2013 report: sub-factor 7.1 (people are aware
of available remedies), sub-factor 7.2 (people can
access and afford legal advice and representation),
and sub-factor 7.3 (people can access and afford civil
courts) from the Index 2011 report have been merged to
form sub-factor 7.1 (people have access to affordable
civil justice) of the current report. Second, sub-factor
5.1 (the laws are comprehensible to the public) and
sub-factor 5.2 (the laws are publicized and widely
accessible) have been combined into sub-factor 5.1
(the laws are publicized and accessible) of this years
report. Similarly, sub-factor 5.5 (official drafts of laws
are available to the public) and sub-factor 5.6 (official
information is available to the public) have been merged
into sub-factor 5.4 (official information is available
on request). Third, for the first time data has been
collected on sub-factor 2.4 (government officials in the
legislative branch do not use public office for private
gain). Finally, in the measurement of Factor 2 (Absence
of Corruption), several variables related to the crime of
embezzlement have been incorporated into the Index.

THE WORLD JUSTICE PROJECT RULE OF LAW INDEX
The rule of law is a system in which the following four universal principles are upheld:
> The government and its ocials and agents as well as individuals and private entities are accountable
under the law.
> The laws are clear, publicized, stable, and just, are applied evenly, and protect fundamental rights,
including the security of persons and property.
> The process by which the laws are enacted, administered, and enforced is accessible, fair, and ecient.
> Justice is delivered timely by competent, ethical, and independent representatives and neutrals who are
of sucient number, have adequate resources, and reect the makeup of the communities they serve.
These four universal principles which comprise the WJPs notion of the rule of law are further developed in
the nine factors of the WJP Rule of Law Index.

oI powers, nor are they necessarily
codiIied in law. What is essential is
that authority is distributed, whether
by Iormal rules or by convention, in
a manner that ensures that no single
organ oI government has the practical
ability to exercise unchecked power.

1 The Index does not address the Iurther question oI whether the laws are
enacted by democratically elected representatives.
Box 4 : The WJP Rule of Law Index methodology in a nutshell
The production of the WJP Rule of Law Index may be summarized in ten steps:
1. The WJP developed the conceptual framework summarized in the Indexs 9 factors and 48
sub-factors, in consultation with academics, practitioners, and community leaders from
around the world.
2. The Index team developed a set of five questionnaires based on the Indexs conceptual
framework, to be administered to experts and the general public. Questionnaires were
translated into several languages and adapted to reflect commonly used terms and
expressions.
3. The team identified, on average, more than 300 potential local experts per country to
respond to the qualified respondents questionnaires, and engaged the services of leading
local polling companies.
4. Polling companies conducted pre-test pilot surveys of the general public in consultation with
the Index team, and launched the final survey.
5. The team sent the questionnaires to local experts and engaged in continual interaction with
them.
6. The Index team collected and mapped the data onto the 48 sub-factors.
7. The Index team constructed the final scores using a five-step process:
a. Codified the questionnaire items as numeric values.
b. Produced raw country scores by aggregating the responses from several individuals
(experts or general public).
c. Normalized the raw scores.
d. Aggregated the normalized scores into sub-factors and factors using simple averages.
e. Produced the final rankings using the normalized scores.
8. The data were subject to a series of tests to identify possible biases and errors. For example,
the Index team cross-checked all sub-factors against more than 60 third-party sources,
including quantitative data and qualitative assessments drawn from local and international
organizations.
9. A sensitivity analysis was conducted by the Econometrics and Applied Statistics Unit of the
European Commissions Joint Research Centre, in collaboration with the Index team, to assess
the statistical reliability of the results.
10. Finally, the data were organized into country reports, tables, and figures to facilitate their
presentation and interpretation.
This Iactor is particularly diIIicult
to measure in a standardized manner
across countries, since there is no single
Iormula Ior the proper distribution oI
powers among organs oI the government
to ensure that each is held in check.
Governmental checks take many
Iorms; they do not operate solely in
systems marked by a Iormal separation

The Iirst sub-Iactor measures the
eIIective limitation oI government
powers in the Iundamental law, including
provisions that prohibit constitutional
amendments and suspensions oI
constitutional rights and privileges
except in accordance with the rules and
procedures provided in the Iundamental
law itselI. The remaining six
sub-Iactors address the eIIectiveness oI
the institutional checks on government
power by the legislature, the judiciary,
and independent auditing and review
agencies
2
; whether government oIIicials
are sanctioned Ior misconduct; and the
eIIectiveness oI non-governmental
oversight by the media and civil
society, which serve an important role
in monitoring government actions and
holding oIIicials accountable. The
last sub-Iactor concerns the extent to
which transitions oI power occur in
accordance with the law. This sub-Iactor
does not address the issue oI whether
transitions oI political power take place
through democratic elections. Rather,
it examines whether the rules Ior the
orderly transIer oI power are actually
observed. This sub-Iactor looks at
the prevalence oI electoral Iraud and
intimidation (Ior those countries in
which elections are held), the Irequency
oI coups d`etats, and the extent to which
transition processes are open to public
scrutiny.
Absence of Corruption
Factor 2 measures the absence oI
corruption. The Index considers three
2 This includes a wide range oI institutions, Irom fnancial comptrol-
lers and auditing agencies to the diverse array oI entities that monitor
human rights compliance (e.g. 'Human Rights DeIender, 'Ombudsman,
'People`s Advocate, 'DeIensor del Pueblo, 'Ouvidoria, 'Human Rights
Commissioner, 'iguskantsler, 'Mediateur de la Republique, 'Citizen`s
Advocate, 'Avocatul Poporului). In some countries these Iunctions are
perIormed by judges or other state oIfcials; in others, they are carried out by
independent agencies.
Iorms oI corruption: bribery, improper
inIluence by public or private interests,
and misappropriation oI public Iunds or
other resources.
These three Iorms oI corruption are
examined with respect to government
oIIicers in the executive branch
(including the police and the military),
and those in the judiciary and the
legislature. This Iactor encompasses
a wide range oI possible situations in
which corruption - Irom petty bribery
to major kinds oI Iraud - can occur,
including the provision oI public
services, procurement procedures,
and administrative enIorcement oI
environmental, labor, and health and
saIety regulations, among others.
Order and Security
Factor 3 measures how well the society
assures the security oI persons and
property. Security is one oI the deIining
aspects oI any rule oI law society and a
Iundamental Iunction oI the state. It is
also a precondition Ior the realization
oI the rights and Ireedoms that the rule
oI law seeks to advance.
This Iactor includes three dimensions:
absence oI crime (particularly
conventional crime
3
); absence oI
political violence (including terrorism,
armed conIlict, and political unrest);
and absence oI violence as a socially
acceptable means to redress personal
grievances.
3 In this category, we include measures oI criminal victimization, such as
homicide, kidnapping, burglary, armed robbery, extortion, and Iraud.

Fundamental Rights
Factor 4 measures protection oI
Iundamental human rights. It recognizes
that the rule oI law must be more than
merely a system oI rules - that indeed,
a system oI positive law that Iails to
respect core human rights established
under international law is at best 'rule
bv law, and does not deserve to be
called a rule oI law system.
More than 60 years aIter its adoption,
the Universal Declaration remains
the touchstone Ior determining which
rights may be considered Iundamental,
even as newer rights continue to emerge
and gain acceptance. At WJP regional
meetings conducted Irom 2008 to 2011,
there was spirited discussion over
which rights should be encompassed
within the Index. Many urged that the
list be conIined to civil and political
rights, particularly Ireedom oI thought
and opinion, which bear an essential
relationship to the rule oI law itselI.
Others argued Ior a broader treatment
that would encompass social, economic,
and cultural rights.
Although the debate may never be
Iully resolved, it was determined as a
practical matter that since there are
many other indices that address human
rights in all oI these dimensions, and
as it would be impossible Ior the Index
to assess adherence to the Iull range
oI rights, the Index should Iocus on a
relatively modest menu oI rights that are
Iirmly established under international
law and are most closely related to rule
oI law concerns. Accordingly, Factor 4
covers eIIective enIorcement oI laws
that ensure equal protection
4
; Ireedom
4 The laws can be Iair only iI they do not make arbitrary or irrational
distinctions based on economic or social statusthe latter defned to include
oI thought, religion, and expression;
Ireedom oI assembly and association;
Iundamental labor rights (including
the right to collective bargaining, the
prohibition oI Iorced and child labor,
and the elimination oI discrimination)
5
;
the rights to privacy and religion; the
right to liIe and security oI the person
6
;
and due process oI law and the rights oI
the accused.
7
Open government
Factor 5 measures open government,
which is essential to political
participation and access to inIormation,
empowering citizens to voice their
concerns and demand accountability
Irom their government.
This Iactor measures the extent to which
the society has clear, publicized, and
stable laws; whether administrative
proceedings are open to public
participation; and whether oIfcial
inIormation, including draIts oI laws and
regulations, is available to the public.
The Iirst oI these elements relates to
the clarity, publicity, and stability that
race, color, ethnic or social origin, caste, nationality, alienage, religion,
language, political opinion or aIfliation, gender, marital status, sexual
orientation or gender identity, age, and disability. It must be acknowledged
that Ior some societies, including some traditional societies, certain oI
these categories may be problematic. In addition, there may be diIIerences
both within and among such societies as to whether a given distinction is
arbitrary or irrational. Despite these diIfculties, it was determined that only
an inclusive list would accord Iull respect to the principles oI equality and
non-discrimination embodied in the Universal Declaration and emerging
norms oI international law.
5 Sub-Iactor 4.8 includes the Iour Iundamental principles recognized
by the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work oI
1998: (1) the Ireedom oI association and the eIIective recognition oI the
right to collective bargaining; (2) the elimination oI all Iorms oI Iorced
or compulsory labor; (3) the eIIective abolition oI child labor; and (4) the
elimination oI discrimination in respect oI employment and occupation.
6 Sub-Iactor 4.2 concerns police brutality and other abusesincluding
arbitrary detention, torture and extrajudicial executionperpetrated by
agents oI the state against criminal suspects, political dissidents, members oI
the media, and ordinary people.
7 This includes the presumption oI innocence and the opportunity to
submit and challenge evidence beIore public proceedings; Ireedom Irom
arbitrary arrest, detention, torture and abusive treatment; and access to legal
counsel and translators.

are required Ior the public to know
what the law is and what conduct
is permitted and prohibited. The
law must be comprehensible and its
meaning suIIiciently clear, publicized,
and explained to the general public
in plain language Ior them to be able
to abide by it. This is one oI the most
basic preconditions Ior achieving
and maintaining a rule oI law society
capable oI guaranteeing public order,
personal security, and Iundamental
rights.
The second element encompasses
the opportunity to participate in the
process by which the laws are made
and administered. Among the indicia oI
participation are: whether people have
the ability to petition the government;
whether proceedings are held with
timely notice and are open to the public;
and whether draIts oI legislation,
records oI legislative and administrative
proceedings, and other kinds oI oIIicial
inIormation are available to the public.
Regulatory enforcement
Factor 6 measures the extent to which
regulations are Iairly and eIIectively
enIorced. Regulations are a pervasive
Ieature oI modern societies, and it
is important that they be enIorced
in accordance with administrative
procedures that are Iair, consistent, and
predictable, without improper inIluence
by public oIIicials or private interests,
and that private property not be taken
without adequate compensation.
The Iactor does not assess which
activities a government chooses to
regulate or how much regulation oI
a particular activity is appropriate.
Rather, it examines how regulations are
implemented and enIorced. To Iacilitate
comparisons, the Iactor considers areas
that all countries regulate to one degree
or another, such as public health,
workplace saIety, environmental
protection, and commercial activity.
Civil Justice
Factor 7 measures whether ordinary
people can resolve their grievances
peaceIully and eIIectively through the
civil justice system. EIIective civil justice
requires that the system be accessible,
aIIordable, eIIective, impartial, and
culturally competent. Accessibility
includes general awareness oI available
remedies; availability and aIIordability
oI legal advice and representation; and
absence oI excessive or unreasonable
Iees, procedural hurdles, linguistic or
physical barriers and other impediments.
Impartiality includes absence oI arbitrary
or irrational distinctions based on social
or economic status and other Iorms oI
bias, as well as decisions that are Iree oI
improper infuence by public oIfcials or
private interests. EIIective civil justice
also requires that court proceedings are
conducted and judgments enIorced Iairly
and eIIectively and without unreasonable
delay.
This Iactor also measures the
accessibility, impartiality, and eIfciency
oI mediation and arbitration systems that
enable parties to resolve civil disputes.
Criminal Justice
Factor 8 deals with the criminal justice
system. An eIIective criminal justice
system is a key aspect oI the rule oI law,

as it constitutes the natural mechanism
to redress grievances and bring action
against individuals Ior oIIenses against
society.
EIIective criminal justice systems
are capable oI investigating and
adjudicating criminal oIIenses
eIIectively and impartially, while
ensuring that the rights oI suspects and
victims are protected. An assessment
oI such systems, however, should take
into consideration the entire system;
including police, lawyers, prosecutors,
judges, and prison oIIicers.
The sub-Iactors included in this Iactor
investigate whether the criminal
investigation and adjudication systems
are eIIective; whether the criminal
justice system is impartial and Iree
oI improper inIluence; whether due
process oI law during arrest and
detention, as well as the rights oI the
accused are eIIectively protected
8
;
and whether correctional systems are
eIIective in reducing criminal behavior.
Informal Justice
Finally, Factor 9 concerns the role played
in many countries by traditional, or
inIormal`, systems oI lawincluding
traditional, tribal, and religious courts
as well as community-based systems
in resolving disputes. These systems
oIten play a large role in cultures in
which Iormal legal institutions Iail to
provide eIIective remedies Ior large
segments oI the population or when
Iormal institutions are perceived
as remote, corrupt, or ineIIective.
8 Sub-Iactor 8.7 includes the presumption oI innocence and the
opportunity to submit and challenge evidence beIore public proceedings;
Ireedom Irom arbitrary arrest, detention, torture and abusive treatment; and
access to legal counsel and translators.
Box 5 : Law in practice vs. law on books
In order to evaluate the rule of law in a given
country, it is important to have an understanding
of the countrys laws and institutions. However,
this is not enough. It is necessary to look not
only at the laws as written (de jure) but at how
they are actually implemented in practice and
experienced by those who are subject to them (de
facto). The WJPs Rule of Law Index methodology
focuses entirely on adherence to the rule of law
in practice.
This Iactor covers two concepts: (1)
whether traditional, communal and
religious dispute resolution systems
are impartial and eIIective; and (2)
the extent to which these systems
respect and protect Iundamental rights.
9
MEASURING THE RULE
OF LAW
The WJP Rule oI Law Index seeks
to quantiIy systematically and
comprehensively a set oI rule oI law
outcomes by linking these concepts to
concrete questions. These questions are
administered to a representative sample
oI the general public and to local
experts, and are analyzed and cross-
checked using a rigorous triangulation
methodology. The result oI this
exercise is one oI the world`s most
comprehensive data sets on adherence
to the rule oI law in practice.
APPROACH
The WJP Rule of Law Index 2012-2013
uses a bottom up approach to assess a
9 Signifcant eIIort has been devoted during the last three years to
collecting data on inIormal justice in a dozen countries. Nonetheless, the
complexities oI these systems and the diIfculties oI measuring their Iairness
and eIIectiveness in a manner that is both systematic and comparable across
countries, make assessments extraordinarily challenging. Although the WJP
has collected data on this dimension, it is not included in the aggregated
scores and rankings.

nation`s adherence to the rule oI law.
Its Iocus is on practical outcomes, such
as whether people have access to the
courts or whether crime is eIIectively
controlled. Our aim is to provide a
picture oI where countries stand with
regard to a number oI widely accepted
outcomes that rule oI law societies seek
to achieve, as opposed to evaluating the
institutional means, such as the legal
and regulatory Irameworks, by which a
given society may seek to attain them.
In short, the Index looks at outcomes,
such as respect Ior Iundamental rights,
absence oI corruption, and delivery oI
justice, rather than inputs, such as the
number oI courts, the number oI police
oIIicers, and the judicial budget.
DATA AND
AGGREGATION
The Index scores are constructed Irom
over 400 variables mapped onto the
48 sub-Iactors oI the Index. These
variables are drawn Irom two novel data
sources collected by the World Justice
Project in each country: (1) a general
population poll (GPP) conducted by
leading local polling companies using
a representative sample oI 1,000
respondents in the three largest cities
in each country; and (2) qualiIied
respondents` questionnaires (QRQ)
consisting oI closed-ended questions
completed by in-country practitioners
and academics with expertise in civil
and commercial law, criminal justice,
labor law, and public health.
The QRQ is administered on a yearly
basis in each surveyed country, and the
GPP is carried out every three years.
In addition, some variables Irom third-
party sources have been incorporated
into this version oI the Index to account
Ior certain conduct, such as terrorist
bombings and battle-related deaths, that
may not be captured through general
population polls or expert opinion.
10
These data are aggregated to create the
numerical scores and rankings.
The 2012-2013 Index assesses 97
countries, which together account Ior
more than 90 percent oI the world`s
population. The country scores and
rankings are based on data collected
and analyzed during the second quarter
oI 2012, with the exception oI general
population data Ior the countries
indexed in 2011, which were gathered
during the Iall oI 2009 and the spring
oI 2011. A detailed description oI the
process by which data is collected and
the rule oI law is measured is provided
in the Iinal section oI this report, and in
Botero and Ponce (2012).
USING THE WJP RULE
OF LAW INDEX
The WJP Rule oI Law Index is intended
Ior multiple audiences. It is designed
to oIIer a reliable and independent data
source Ior policy makers, businesses,
nongovernmental organizations, and
other constituencies to assess a nation`s
adherence to the rule oI law in practice,
as perceived and experienced by the
average person; identiIy a nation`s
strengths and weaknesses in comparison
10 These variables include, among others, the number oI events and
deaths resulting Irom high-casualty terrorist bombings (From the Center
Ior Systemic Peace), the number oI battle-related deaths, and the number oI
casualties resulting Irom 'one-sided violence (From the Uppsala Confict
Data Program). These indicators are proxies Ior civil confict (sub-Iactor
3.2).

to similarly situated countries; and
track changes over time.
The WJP Rule oI Law Index has a
number oI distinguishing Ieatures:
Comprehensiveness. Various other
indices address aspects oI the rule
oI law. The WJP Rule oI Law Index
provides a comprehensive picture
oI rule oI law compliance in a large
number oI countries.
New data. The Index fndings
are based almost entirely on
new data collected by the WJP
Irom independent sources. This
contrasts with indices based on data
aggregated Irom third-party sources,
or on sources that are selI-reported
by governments or other interested
parties.
Rule of law in practice. The Index
measures adherence to the rule oI
law by looking not to the laws as
written, but at how they are actually

Anchored in actual experiences.
The Index combines expert opinion
with rigorous polling oI the general
public to ensure that the fndings
refect the conditions experienced
by the population, including
marginalized sectors oI society.
Action oriented. Findings are
presented in disaggregated Iorm,
identiIying areas oI strength and
weakness across the nine dimensions
oI the rule oI law examined in each
country.
These Ieatures make the Index a powerIul
tool that can inIorm policy debates both
within and across countries. However,
the Index`s Iindings must be interpreted
in light oI certain inherent limitations.
1.
The WJP Rule oI Law Index does
not provide specifc recipes or
identiIy priorities Ior reIorm.
2. The Index data is not intended to
establish causation or to ascertain
the complex relationship among
diIIerent rule oI law dimensions in
various countries.
3. The Index`s rankings and scores
are the product oI a rigorous
data collection and aggregation
methodology. Nonetheless, as with
all measures, they are subject to
measurement error.

4. Indices and indicators are
subject to potential abuse and
misinterpretation. Once released
to the public, they can take on a
liIe oI their own and be used Ior
purposes unanticipated by their
creators. II data is taken out oI
context, it can lead to unintended
or erroneous policy decisions.
5. Rule oI law concepts measured
by the Index may have diIIerent
meanings across countries. Users
are encouraged to consult the
specifc defnitions oI the variables
employed in the construction oI
the Index, which are discussed in
greater detail in Botero and Ponce
(2012).
6. The Index is generally intended to
be used in combination with other
instruments, both quantitative and
qualitative. Just as in the areas
oI health or economics no single
index conveys a Iull picture oI a
country`s situation. Policymaking
in the area oI rule oI law requires
careIul consideration oI all

COMPLEMENTARITY
WITH OTHER WJP
INITIATIVES
The Index`s development is highly
integrated with other dimensions oI the
WJP.
The Index fndings Ior a growing

presented and discussed in detail at
successive World Justice Forums
and WJP regional conIerences.
Many oI the issues identifed by
the Index in various countries will
become Iertile areas Ior the design
oI rule oI law programs by Forum
participants.
The results oI various WJP
programs will be presented at each
World Justice Forum, enabling a
more detailed discussion oI concrete
issues covered by the Index.
Detailed discussions oI Index
fndings at successive World Justice
Forums and regional outreach
meetings will generate useIul
inIormation Ior Iurther refnement
oI the Index methodology and
measurement, as well as an
opportunity to disseminate the
results oI both the Index and WJP
programs.
WJP scholars will provide
conceptual and methodological
advice Ior the improvement and
expansion oI the Index, and the
Index`s fndings and data will
be made available to researchers
around the world.

Western Europe
& North America
Countries in Western Europe and
North America tend to outperform
most other countries in all dimensions.
These countries are characterized by
relatively low levels of corruption, open
and accountable governments, and
eective criminal justice systems. The
greatest weakness in Western Europe
and North America appears to be related
to the accessibility of the civil justice
system, especially for marginalized
segments of the population. This is an
area that requires attention from both
policy makers and civil society. While
protection of fundamental rights in this
region is the highest in the world, police
discrimination against foreigners and
ethnic minorities is an issue of concern
in most countries.
Austria ranks among the top 10
globally in ve dimensions of the rule
of law and among the top 20 in the
remaining categories. The government
is accountable and free of corruption,
and fundamental rights are strongly
protected. Although the country is
very open, people in Austria face
more diculties in accessing ocial
documentation than do individuals in
most developed nations. The countrys
courts are accessible and free of improper
inuence. However, discrimination by
judicial personnel and law enforcement
ocers against disadvantaged groups is
perceived to be a problem.
Belgium ranks in the top 20 worldwide
in seven of the eight dimensions
measured by the Index. The country
scores well in government accountability
(ranking sixteenth) and protection of
fundamental rights (eleventh), although
police discrimination against foreigners
is perceived to be a signicant problem.
The judicial system is relatively
independent, accessible, and aordable.
However, judicial delays in civil cases are
a source of concern.
Canada performs well in all eight
dimensions of the rule of law. The
government is accountable (ranking
fteenth), corruption is minimal (ranking
twelfth) and the country generally
observes fundamental rights (ranking
eighteenth), although discrimination
against immigrants and the poor is
a source of concern. The country is
relatively safe from crime, civil courts
are accessible and independent, and the
criminal justice system is eective in
bringing oenders to justice. However,
delays in court processes are perceived
to be a problem.
Denmark is the world leader in two
dimensionsgovernment accountability
and criminal justiceand places in the
top 10 in all dimensions. Denmarks
public institutions are transparent,
efficient, and free of corruption. The

country is relatively saIe Irom crime
and the criminal justice system is
eIIective in bringing oIIenders to
justice; however, police discrimination
against Ioreigners and ethnic minorities
is perceived to be a problem.
Finland ranks in the top Iive in the
world in six dimensions and in the
top 10 in all dimensions. The country
has well-Iunctioning, accountable,
and transparent institutions and the
court system is independent and Iree
oI improper inIluence. The criminal
justice system ranks second overall, but
police discrimination against Ioreigners
and ethnic minorities is perceived to be
a problem.
France ranks in the top 15 worldwide
in Iive oI the eight dimensions oI the
rule oI law. The country`s notable
strengths include absence oI corruption
(ranking thirteenth) and an independent,
accessible, and aIIordable civil justice
system (eighteenth). However, judicial
delays are a weakness in both civil and
criminal justice, where cases can take
years to resolve. France earns high
marks in the areas oI eIIective regulatory
enIorcement (ranking thirteenth)
and protection oI Iundamental rights
(Iourteenth), but police discrimination
against ethnic and religious minorities
is perceived to be a problem.
Germany ranks in the top 10 worldwide
in three dimensions and perIorms well
overall. Government accountability
is strong (ninth out oI ninety seven
countries) and corruption is minimal
(eleventh). The country`s civil justice
system ranks third overall and is
characterized by the aIIordability oI
attorneys, accessibility and eIIiciency
oI courts, and lack oI undue inIluence.
Police discrimination against
Ioreigners, however, is perceived to be
a problem.
Greece is the weakest perIormer oI the
countries in the Western Europe and
North America region measured by the
Index. The country has a Iair system oI
checks and balances (ranking thirty-
Iirst), but its administrative agencies are
ineIIicient, lax in enIorcing regulations,
and aIIected by improper inIluence. The
civil justice system is independent, but
slow, and while the country is relatively
saIe Irom crime, riots in the streets are
a common occurrence. Overall, Greece
earns high marks in protecting basic
rights and liberties, but discrimination
against disadvantaged groups is
perceived to be a problem.
Italy ranks in the top -third worldwide,
but underperIorms most oI its regional
peers in most rule oI law dimensions.
The country scores twenty-seventh
globally in checks on the government`s
power, but corruption and impunity oI
government oIIicials undermine the
perIormance oI the state institutions.
The country ranks second to last
among high-income countries in
open government and third to last in
regulatory enIorcement. The country`s
civil justice system is independent but
slow. Overall, Italy has a good record
in observing Iundamental rights, but
discrimination against disadvantaged
groups is perceived to be a problem.
The Netherlands ranks among the top

Box 6 : Equal Access to Justice
As understood by the World Justice Project,
access to justice refers to the ability of all people
to seek and obtain effective remedies through
accessible, affordable, impartial, efficient,
effective, and culturally competent institutions
of justice. Well-functioning dispute resolution
systems enable people to protect their rights
against infringement by others, including
powerful parties and the state.
All around the world, peoples ability to use
legal channels to resolve their disputes is often
impeded by obstacles such as financial barriers,
language problems, complexity of procedures,
or simply lack of knowledge, disempowerment,
and exclusion. This problem is not restricted
to developing countries. In many developed
nations, the formal civil justice systems, although
independent and free of improper influence,
remain largely inaccessible to disadvantaged
groups.
The cases of Finland and the United States
provide an illustrative example. When facing
a common civil dispute (in this case, an unpaid
debt), most people in Finland, regardless of
their socio-economic status, tend to use formal
dispute-resolution channels, while only a few
choose to take no action. The situation is quite
different in the United States. While high-income
Americans behave similarly to the Finnish, low-
income people act very differentlyonly a few
use the court system (including small-claims
courts), while many take no action to resolve
their disputes. The variances between countries
might be attributable to differences in attorneys
fees, availability of legal services, awareness of
available remedies, disempowerment, different
institutional settings, or differences related to
the organization of the society, to mention just
a few. For example, in the United States, among
the low income litigants, 81% did not seek legal
assistance because they felt that they could not
afford the lawyers fees, compared to 48% of the
high income litigants. In Finland, this difference
between high and low income litigants is not as
pronounced as in the United States. While the
causes of these patterns are subject to debate,
few will disagree with the view that more work
is needed to ensure that all people are able to
benefit from a functioning civil justice system.

in most other dimensions. The overall
regulatory environment is transparent
and eIIicient. The country`s courts
are accessible and Iree oI improper
inIluence, with criminal courts
outperIorming most other countries on
respect Ior due process oI law. Labor
market discrimination is perceived to
be a problem.
Norway is the world leader in civil
justice and ranks globally among the
top 10 in all but one dimension (it ranks
eleventh in order and security). The
government is accountable and open
and Norway`s regulatory agencies
are eIIective in enIorcing regulations
(ranking sixth). The court system
operates independently and is Iree oI
improper inIluence, but it is not as
speedy as others in the region. Police
discrimination against Ioreigners and
ethnic minorities is perceived to be a
problem.
Portugal places in the top-third
worldwide, but lags behind most
oI its regional peers in many oI
the eight rule oI law dimensions
covered by the Index. The country
ranks twenty-Iourth in checks on
the government`s power and twenty-
ninth on corruption. Administrative
agencies are relatively eIIective in
enIorcing regulations, albeit less
eIIiciently than those in most other
countries in the region. The civil
courts are independent, but slow and
ineIIicient. Portugal`s lowest score
is in the area oI order and security
(ranking Iorty-IiIth), mainly because
people are increasingly resorting
to violence to express discontent.
Its highest score is on respect Ior
Iundamental rights (ranking twenty-
Iirst).
Spain scores relatively well in the areas
oI government accountability, absence oI
corruption, access to legal counsel, and
respect Ior due process oI law. The country
ranks sixth worldwide Ior protection
oI Iundamental rights. However, Spain
lags behind its regional and income-
group peers in providing mechanisms
Ior public participationincluding the
right to petition public authoritiesand
in eIIectively enIorcing government
regulations, where it ranks twenty-second.
Judicial delays, ineIIective enIorcement oI
civil justice, and police discrimination are
also areas in need oI attention.
Sweden ranks Iirst worldwide in
Iour oI eight dimensionsabsence
oI corruption, Iundamental rights,
open government, and regulatory
enIorcementand places in the
top 10 in all dimensions. Sweden`s
administrative agencies and courts are
rated among the most eIIective and
transparent in the world. The country
generally observes Iundamental rights.
Sweden`s lowest score is in the area
oI civil justice, mainly because oI
perceived delays in court processes.
The United Kingdom ranks among
the top 15 globally in six oI the eight
dimensions measured by the Index.
The country scores well on government
accountability (ranking thirteenth)
and corruption is minimal (ranking
IiIteenth). Fundamental rights are well
protected and the country is relatively
saIe Irom crime. The court system
is independent and Iree oI undue
inIluence, but it is not as accessible and
aIIordable as others in the region.

seventeenth) and scores well in respect
Ior Iundamental rights, including the
rights oI association, opinion and
expression, religion, and petition. The
civil justice system is independent
and Iree oI undue inIluence, but it
lags behind in providing access to
disadvantaged groups. Legal assistance
is Irequently expensive or unavailable,
and the gap between rich and poor
individuals in terms oI both actual use
oI and satisIaction with the civil court
system is signiIicant (see Box 6). In
addition, there is a perception that
ethnic minorities and Ioreigners receive
unequal treatment.

East Asia &
Pacic
The East Asia and Pacic (EAP) region
is one of the most diverse and complex
regions in the world. Taken as a whole,
the EAP region falls in the upper half of
the global rankings in most categories;
however, there are important dierences
in rule of law outcomes across countries
encompassing the region. Wealthy
nations, such as Australia, New Zealand,
and Japan rank among the top 15 globally
in nearly all categories measured by
the Index, yet lag behind regional
peers in guaranteeing equal treatment
to disadvantaged groups. In contrast,
middle income countries in the region
face challenges in combating corruption,
strengthening accountability, and
improving how eectively and
eciently government agencies and
courts function. In countries such as
Malaysia, Vietnam, and China, judicial
independence is an area in need of
attention, as is the poor record on
respect for fundamental rights, including
labor rights, freedom of assembly, and
freedom of opinion and expression.
Accessibility of ocial information in
East Asia and Pacic countries is lower
than in other regions of the world.
Australia ranks among the top ten
globally in ve of the eight dimensions
measured by the Index. The civil courts
are ecient and independent, although
access to aordable legal counsel remains
limited, particularly for disadvantaged
groups. The country ranks among the
best in the world in protecting most
fundamental rights, but lags behind
most other high income countries in
guaranteeing equal treatment and non-
discrimination, especially for immigrants
and low-income people.
Cambodia is ranked lower than most
other countries in the region on all
dimensions. The overall legal and
institutional environment remains quite
weak, which is highlighted by the low
scores in key areas, including eective
limits on government powers (ranking
ninetieth); regulatory enforcement;
access to civil justice; and absence
of corruption (ranked eighty-fth).
Property rights are very weak, and police
abuses remain a signicant problem.
On the other hand, Cambodia has lower
crime rates than most countries in the
low income group.
China scores well on public safety,
ranking thirty-second overall and fourth
among its income peers. The criminal
justice system is relatively eective, but
compromised by political interference
and violations of due process of law.
Administrative agencies are lax in
enforcing regulations and vulnerable to
improper inuence (ranking eightieth).
The civil court system is relatively
speedy and accessible, but judicial

independence is a concern. EIIective
checks on the executive are limited
(ranking eighty-sixth). Indicators oI
Iundamental rights are weak, ranking
ninety-Iourth, which chieIly reIlects
substantial limitations on Ireedom oI
speech and Ireedom oI assembly.
The jurisdiction oI Hong Kong SAR,
China ranks in the top 10 in Iour
dimensions. Hong Kong places second in
providing order and security and eighth
Ior the eIIectiveness oI its criminal
justice system. Administrative agencies
and courts are eIIicient and Iree oI
corruption (ranked ninth), although not
entirely Iree oI government interIerence.
The jurisdiction lags behind others in
the region in guaranteeing Iundamental
rights and Ireedoms to its people
(ranking thirty-Iirst).
Indonesia is in the top halI oI the
rankings among lower-middle income
countries in most dimensions. The
country ranks Iirst among lower
middle income countries Ior checks on
government power (ranked twenty-ninth
overall) and open government (ranked
thirty-IiIth overall). Indonesians
enjoy higher degrees oI participation
in the administration oI the laws than
individuals in other East Asia and
PaciIic region countries. On the other
hand, the country Iaces challenges in
the Iunctioning oI government agencies
and courts. Corruption is pervasive,
ranking last in the region and eighty-
sixth globally. The courts are perceived
to be independent oI government
control, but aIIected by powerIul private
interests and corruption. The civil
justice system remains underdeveloped
(ranking sixty-sixth overall and tenth
among lower-middle income countries),
attributable in part to the lack oI
aIIordable legal services, deIicient
enIorcement mechanisms, and the
lengthy duration oI cases. Police abuses
and harsh conditions at correctional
Iacilities are also signiIicant problems.
1apan ranks among the highest
perIormers in the East Asia and
PaciIic region in most dimensions. The
country`s courts are among the best in
the world and Japan ranks second in
the world Ior the eIIectiveness oI its
regulatory agencies. Security is high
(ranking seventh in the world) and the
criminal justice system is eIIective
(ranking twenty-third), although due
process violations are a cause oI
concern.
Malaysia`s government is relatively
accountable in comparison with
other upper-middle income countries,
although political interIerence and
impunity exist. The civil court system
ranks thirty-ninth globally and eighth
among upper-middle income countries.
Malaysia scores well on public saIety,
ranking Iirst among its income peers,
although abuses by the police are
a problem. Accessibility oI oIIicial
inIormation is limited. Violations oI
Iundamental rights (ranking seventy-
third), most notably Ireedom oI opinion
and expression, are also areas oI
concern.
Mongolia ranks IiIth among lower-
middle income countries on order and
security and second on protection oI
Iundamental rights. The country also
scores relatively well on civil and
criminal justice. The press and civil
society organizations generally operate
without government interIerence. The
country`s weakest perIormance is in
the area oI open government, ranking

Figure 4: Impunity around the world
Regional sub-factor 1.5 scores, where higher marks signify higher adherence to the rule of law
ninety-third overall and next to last
among its income peers. This deIiciency
is explained by severe limitations
on citizens` right to petition the
government and on their right to access
to oIIicial inIormation. Other areas oI
concern are corruption, particularly
in the legislature, and unchecked
inIluence oI powerIul private interests
on all branches oI government.
New Zealand stands out as the best
perIormer in the region and is in the
top ten in the world in seven oI the
eight dimensions measured by the
Index. Government agencies and
courts are eIIicient, transparent, and
Iree oI corruption. Fundamental rights
are strongly protected. The judicial
system is accessible, independent, and
eIIective.
Box 7 : Impunity
The principle that no one is above the law is
fundamental to the rule of law, which requires
that all people, including government officials
and agents, be subject to the same legal rules.
In countries where the rule of law is strong,
government officials are held accountable for
official misconduct. In countries where the rule of
law is weak, those who are politically connected
are rarely called to account for their misdeeds.
Impunity means denial of justice for systematic
human rights violations; it prevents corrupt
officials from being disciplined; and it undermines
public confidence in the rule of law. The WJP
Rule of Law Index addresses impunity in Factor
1 under sub-factor 1.5 Government officials
are sanctioned for misconduct. The sub-factor
applies to all government officials, whether they
serve in the executive branch, the legislative
branch, the judiciary, the police or the military.
To varying degrees, all countries struggle with
the problem of impunity. Worldwide, only 37%
of people surveyed by the WJP in 2012 believe
that a high-ranking government officer who is
exposed for stealing government money would
be prosecuted and punished. But the extent of
the problem varies substantially by country and
region. In general, Western European and North
American countries receive the highest scores,
followed by East Asia and Pacific, the Middle East
and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Eastern
Europe and Central Asia. Latin America and
South Asia are in last place, with 12 of the 16 Latin
American countries indexed by the World Justice
Project in 2012 ranked in the 30% percentile or
lower.
A culture of impunity undermines respect for
fundamental rights, breeds corruption, and leads
to a vicious cycle of law-breaking, as it neutralizes
the deterrent effect of punishment. Impunity also
erodes public trust in state institutions, signals
to citizens that laws do not matter, and acts as a
drag on development. With so much at risk, more
needs be done in every country to hold officials
accountable and build a culture that respects the
rule of law.

The Philippines stands out among
lower-middle income countries Ior
having reasonably eIIective checks
on government power (ranking sixth
among its income group), including
a vibrant civil society, a Iree media,
and an independent judiciary. The
Philippines ranks IiIth among lower-
middle income countries in eIIective
regulatory enIorcement. Civil conIlict
and political violence are signiIicant
challenges. The country also has
problems with respect to protection
oI Iundamental rights (ranking IiIty-
ninth overall), particularly in regard to
violations against the right to liIe and
security oI the person, police abuses,due
process violations, and harsh conditions
at correctional Iacilities. The civil
court system scores poorly (ranking
eighty-Iourth globally) due to deIicient
enIorcement mechanisms, corruption
among judges and law enIorcement
oIIicers, and the lengthy duration oI
cases.
The Republic of Korea presents a
strong and Iairly even picture across
most oI the dimensions measured by
the Index. Administrative agencies are
perceived to be transparent and Iree
oI corruption, although slightly lax in
enIorcing regulations. Fundamental
rights are well protected and the
country is relatively saIe Irom crime.
The country`s lowest score is in the area
oI government accountability (ranking
twenty-eighth), which is partly a
reIlection oI political interIerence
within the legislature and the judiciary.
Singapore ranks Iirst in the world
in providing security to its citizens
and places in the top 10 in Iour
other dimensions. The public
administration oI the country is
eIIective and corruption is minimal
(ranking seventh). The criminal
justice system is among the most
eIIective in the world (ranking third).
The country`s lowest score is in the
area oI Iundamental rights (ranking
twenty-sixth), which is a reIlection oI
substantial limitations on Ireedom oI
speech and Ireedom oI assembly.
Thailand earns high marks on absence
oI crime and eIIectiveness oI the
criminal justice system (ranking thirty-
IiIth globally and seventh among its
income peers). However, civil conIlict
and political violence are signiIicant
problems. Corruption is common,
particularly within the legislature and
the police. The country`s lowest scores
are in the dimension oI civil justice
(ranking eightieth), partly because
oI delays in processing cases and
diIIiculties in enIorcing court decisions.
Vietnam Iaces challenges in terms
oI accountability and constraints
on the executive branch (ranking
eighty-second), owing to political
interIerence in the legislature and the
judiciary. Despite ongoing reIorms,
regulatory agencies are opaque and
ineIIicient and corruption is prevalent.
The country`s civil justice system,
although accessible, is undermined by
corruption and political interIerence.

Performances vary greatly amongst
countries in the Eastern Europe and
Central Asia (ECA) region covered by the
Index, with some nations scoring nearly
the same as the strongest performers in
the world. Accountability remains a major
challenge throughout the region, with
many countries failing to consolidate
adequate systems for curtailing abuse of
power. In addition, regulatory agencies
and courts are often inecient and
subject to undue inuence. The regions
best scores are in the area of order and
security, due to relatively low crime rates
and limited outbreaks of violence.
Albania has signicant problems in a
number of rule of law dimensions. Checks
on executive power are weak, (ranking
seventy-rst) and ocial corruption
is pervasive (ranking eighty-fourth).
Rules and regulations are dicult to
enforce, and the judiciary is plagued by
corruption and political interference.
Police abuses and harsh conditions at
correctional facilities are also signicant
problems. On the other hand, Albania
ranks rst among lower middle-income
countries in protection of freedom of
speech, religion, and assembly.
Belarusoutperforms most of its income-
level and regional peers in several rule
of law dimensions, including order
and security (ranking thirty-third
globally), regulatory enforcement
(ranking thirty-fth), and civil and
criminal justice (ranking twenty-sixth
and thirty-fourth), respectively. On
the other hand, the country shows
severe deciencies in government
accountability (ranking ninety-rst),
very weak protection of fundamental
rights (ranking eighty-fourth) and lack
of governmental openness (ranking
eighty-seventh). Major problems
include lack of independence of the
judiciary and the legislature, severe
restrictions on freedom of opinion and
expression, privacy, and association, and
limitations on citizens right to petition
the government and to access ocial
information.
Bosnia and Herzegovina ranks second
among upper middle income countries
in delivering eective criminal justice.
The country ranks seventh among its
income group in protecting fundamental
rights and providing order and security.
The countrys weakest performance is
in the dimension of civil justice (ranking
twentieth among upper middle income
countries and sixty-fourth overall), mainly
due to severe delays and ineective
enforcement mechanisms. Other areas
of concern are ocial corruption,
particularly among the executive and the
legislature, lack of eective sanctions for
ocial misconduct, and discrimination
against ethnic minorities.

Bulgaria outperIorms most upper-
middle income countries in protecting
the security oI its citizens Irom crime
and in respecting the Ireedoms oI
speech, religion, and assembly. The
right to petition the government
and citizen participation are also
signiIicant strengths. The country
Iaces challenges in the dimensions oI
government accountability, corruption,
and regulatory enIorcement, (ranking
sixtieth, IiIty-third, and IiIty-IiIth,
respectively). The criminal justice
system scores poorly (ranking eighty-
Iirst), and discrimination against
minorities is a signiIicant problem.
Croatia Ialls in the middle oI the
rankings in most categories. Despite
recent progress, Croatia`s institutions
lag behind those oI other high-income
countries. Its public administrative
bodies, Ior example, are ineIIicient,
and the judicial system, while generally
accessible, is slow and subject to
improper inIluence. The country
is relatively saIe Irom crime, but
corruption is an area oI concern (ranking
last among high-income countries).
The Czech Republic outperIorms its
regional peers in several dimensions
oI the rule oI law, including checks
on government power (ranking third
within the region and twenty-IiIth
overall) and regulatory enIorcement
(ranking IiIth in the region and twenty-
eighth overall). Courts are independent,
but very slow. Other areas in need oI
attention include corruption among
government oIIicials (ranking thirty-
second) and lack oI eIIective sanctions
Ior oIIicial misconduct.
Estonia leads the region in all but two
dimensions and ranks globally among
the top 20 in all but one dimension,
thanks to its well-Iunctioning and open
institutions. Administrative agencies
and courts are accountable, eIIective,
and Iree oI corruption, and Iundamental
rights are strongly protected. On the
other hand, the crime rates in Estonia are
higher than in most oI its high income
peers. Judicial delays are another area
in need oI attention.
Georgia is the leader among lower-
middle income countries in Iour
dimensionsabsence oI corruption,
regulatory enIorcement, civil justice,
and criminal justice. However, the country
ranks fIty-Iourth in the world in open
government, and sixty-sixth in providing
eIIective checks on the government`s
power, mainly due to political interIerence
within the legislature and the judiciary.
Although the country is relatively saIe
Irom crime, outbreaks oI violence in and
around the borders are a source oI concern.
Hungary ranks in the top-third worldwide
in most dimensions oI the rule oI law, but
lags behind its regional and income group
peers. The country ranks third to last among
high income countries Ior eIIective checks
on government powers, due in part to
political interIerence among the diIIerent
branches oI government. Corruption
is relatively low (ranking twenty-sixth
globally) and administrative agencies
are relatively eIIective in enIorcing
regulations (ranking twenty-seventh).
The country is relatively saIe Irom crime.
The civil justice system ranks Iorty-fIth
globally and second to last among high-
income countries, mainly because oI
lengthy delays in the resolution oI cases,
discrimination against marginalized
groups, and diIfculties enIorcing court
decisions.

Factor 6: Efective Regulatory Enforcement
Top tercile
Modern societies use public enforcement
of government regulations to ensure that
the public interest is not subordinated to
the private interests of regulated entities.
Around the world, regulations vary widely
due to differences in policies, institutional
environments, and political choices. Whatever
those choices may be, regulations are futile if
they are not properly enforced by authorities.
Ensuring compliance with regulations
is thus a key feature of the rule of law.
Effective regulatory enforcement depends,
in turn, on accountability, independence,
and transparency to ensure that regulatory
institutions act within the limits authorized
by law.
The WJP Rule of Law Index addresses
regulatory enforcement in Factor 6. This
factor assesses the effectiveness of regulatory
enforcement in practice; the absence of
improper influence by public officials or
private interests; adherence to due process in
administrative procedures; and the absence of
government expropriation of private property
without adequate compensation. Rather than
analyzing specific statutes, the Index uses
simple scenarios to explore the outcomes
associated with activities that are regulated
in all jurisdictions, such as environmental
standards, public health, workplace
conditions, and permits and licenses.
Regulatory effectiveness varies greatly across
countries (see Figure 5). On a scale between
0 and 1, where 1 signifies higher adherence
to the rule of law, the index of regulatory
enforcement has an average value of 0.72 in
high-income countries, 0.51 in upper middle
income countries, 0.45 in lower-middle income
countries, and 0.40 in low-income countries.
In general, as economies develop, they find
more effective ways to implement existing
regulations within the limits imposed by law,
but this is not always the case. As countries
engage in regulatory reforms, special efforts
should be made to improve the mechanisms
that are used to guarantee that such laws are
implemented and enforced in an efficient,
effective, and accountable manner.

Kazakhstan Iaces serious challenges in
terms oI accountability and constraints
on the executive branch (ranking eighty-
ninth) due to political interIerence
in the legislature, the judiciary, and
the electoral process. Another area oI
concern is open government, on which
Kazakhstan ranks second to last among
upper-middle income countries. The
civil courts are relatively eIIicient, but
subject to undue inIluence. On the other
hand, the country is relatively saIe Irom
crime and violence (ranking Iorty-sixth
overall and eleventh among its income
peers).
Kyrgyzstan ranks seventy-sixth
in establishing eIIective limits on
government power and ninety-third in
corruption. Administrative agencies are
lax in enIorcing regulations (ranking
seventy-third) and the perIormance oI
civil courts is poor (ranking second
to last in the region). The country
is relatively saIe Irom crime, but its
criminal justice system ranks last in
the region and ninetieth overall, mainly
due to weaknesses in the criminal
investigation system, corruption among
judges and law enIorcement oIIicials,
and violations oI due process and rights
oI the accused.
Macedonia earns high marks Ior open
government (ranking twenty-third
overall and third among upper middle
income countries) and regulatory
enIorcement (ranking thirty-Iourth
overall and IiIth among its income
group). Although corruption is low
in comparison with its peers (ranking
seventh by income-level and eighth
regionally) and transitions oI power
occur in accordance with law, the system
oI checks and balances is relatively
weak (ranking IiIty-ninth overall and
eighteenth among upper middle income
countries), as neither the legislature nor
the courts exercise an eIIective limit on
the government`s powers. Civil justice
is accessible, although plagued with
excessive delays. Limitations on the
Ireedom oI the press and discrimination
against marginalized groups are sources
oI concern.
Moldova outperIorms most oI its
regional and income-level peers in
delivering order and security (ranking
Iourth among lower middle income
countries and eleventh in the region).
Government accountability is weak due
to widespread corruption, ineIIective
checks on the government`s power,
and impunity Ior misconduct by
government oIIicials. The delivery oI
civil and criminal justice is hampered
by government interIerence, corruption,
ineIIiciency, and poor conditions oI
correctional Iacilities. Regulatory
enIorcement is weak (ranking twentieth
in the region and nineteenth by income
level). Police abuse, violations oI due
process, and discrimination against
minorities and marginalized groups are
also areas in need oI attention.
Poland`s public institutions rank twenty-
seventh in absence oI corruption and
twenty-sixth in eIIectiveness oI regulatory
enIorcement. Overall, the country has a
good record in protecting Iundamental
rights, although discrimination against
disadvantaged groups is an area oI
concern. Poland`s lowest scores are in the
dimensions oI open government (ranking
twenty-ninth) and access to civil justice
(ranking twenty-seventh), mainly because
oI lengthy delays in the resolution oI cases
and diIfculties enIorcing court decisions.
Delays in administrative proceedings are
another area in need oI attention.

Romania perIorms best in the
dimensions oI security and respect
Ior Iundamental rights (ranking
second among upper-middle income
countries in both dimensions), and in
criminal justice (ranking IiIth among
its income peers and thirty-third
globally). The country does less well on
administrative and judicial eIIiciency.
EnIorcement oI regulations is weak
(ranking Iorty-Iourth) and corruption
persists (Iorty-IiIth). Harsh treatment
oI prisoners and detainees is an area oI
concern.
Russia shows serious deIiciencies
in checks and balances among the
diIIerent branches oI government
(ranking ninety-second), with an
institutional environment characterized
by corruption, impunity, and political
interIerence. Civil courts, although
accessible and relatively eIIicient, are
perceived to be corrupt. The criminal
justice system is relatively eIIective,
but is compromised by corruption
and violations oI due process oI law.
Protection oI property rights and
violations oI Iundamental rights, such
as Ireedom oI opinion, Ireedom oI
association, and privacy are also areas
oI concern. Notable strengths include
strong enIorcement oI labor rights and
a relatively eIIicient disposition oI
administrative proceedings.
Serbia ranks in the bottom halI oI
upper middle income countries on
nearly all dimensions oI the rule oI
law. Its system oI checks and balances
ranks sixty-seventh overall and twelIth
among its regional peers. Transitions oI
power occur in accordance with the law.
The judicial system is compromised by
ineIIiciency, corruption, and political
inIluence. Regulatory enIorcement is
ineIIective (ranking seventy-Iourth
overall, eighteenth regionally, and
twenty-sixth among upper middle
income countries). Ethnic tensions,
discrimination against minorities,
lack oI eIIective sanctions Ior oIIicial
misconduct, and violations oI the right
to privacy are sources oI concern.
Slovenia outperIorms most countries
in the Eastern Europe and Central Asia
region in most dimensions oI the rule
oI law, particularly in the areas oI open
government (ranking twenty-second
overall and second in the region), limited
government powers (thirtieth overall
and Iourth in the region), protection oI
Iundamental rights (nineteenth overall
and Iourth in the region), and absence
oI corruption (thirty-Iirst overall and
IiIth in the region). Problems include
delays and inadequate enIorcement oI
administrative and judicial decisions,
and police corruption.
Turkey ranks in the middle oI Eastern
European and Central Asian nations
in most dimensions. The country
perIorms relatively well in regulatory
enIorcement (ranking thirty-ninth) and
its civil justice system ranks Iorty-
Iourth. Turkey receives lower marks
in the dimensions oI government
accountability (ranking sixty-eighth)
and Iundamental rights (ranking
seventy-sixth), mainly because
oI deIiciencies in the Iunctioning
oI auditing mechanisms, political
interIerence within the legislature and
the judiciary, and a poor record on
Ireedom oI expression and privacy.

are ineIIective in enIorcing regulations
(ranking ninety-Iirst globally and

although accessible, are ineIIicient
and corrupt. On the other hand, the
country obtains relatively high marks in
protecting basic civil liberties, such as
Ireedom oI religion, and it is relatively
saIe Irom crime (ranking Iorty-Iourth).
Property rights are weak.
Uzbekistan scores well in delivering
order and security to its people (ranking
eighth in the world). However, security
comes at the expense oI extreme
restrictions on Iundamental rights
(ranking ninety-IiIth, and last among its
income and regional peers), including
on Ireedoms oI speech, press, and
association, right to liIe and security oI
the person, and privacy. The country
ranks last in the world in providing
eIIective checks on the government`s
power. The judiciary and the legislature
are not independent oI government
control and all branches oI government
are perceived to be severely aIIected by
corruption. Nonetheless, the country
outperIorms most oI its regional peers
in regulatory enIorcement and civil
justice.

The WJP Rule of Law Index 2012-2013
report covers seven countries in the
Middle East and North Africa region:
Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco,
Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Overall, the region receives middling
scores for most factors, although the
Arab Spring has put several countries
on the road towards establishing
governments which are more open and
accountable, and functioning systems
of checks and balances. Compared to
the rest of the world, crime is low. The
regions lowest scores are in the area of
fundamental rights due to restrictions
on freedom of religion and free speech,
and discrimination against women and
minorities.
Egypt is in the process of establishing
a functioning system of checks and
balances (ranked fortieth overall and rst
in the region) and an open government
(ranking fty-rst overall and second in
the region). Administrative agencies are
inecient, lax in enforcing regulations,
and aected by improper inuence. The
civil justice system is slow and subject to
political pressure. Security is the lowest
in the region and people frequently
resort to violence to resolve grievances.
Violations of fundamental rights, most
notably freedom of religion, privacy,
due process, and discrimination against
women and minorities are also areas of
concern.
Irans system of law enforcement is
relatively strong but is often used as
an instrument to perpetrate abuses.
The country ranks last in the world
on protection of fundamental rights.
Government accountability is weak
(ranking eighty-fth globally and last
within the region), and corruption
persists. Administrative agencies
are relatively eective in enforcing
regulations (ranking forty-rst overall
and eleventh among upper-middle
income countries), and courts are
accessible and relatively speedy, but
subject to political interference.
Jordan is in the top half of the rankings
among upper-middle income countries
in most dimensions, with relatively high
marks in the areas of security, civil and
criminal justice, absence of corruption,
and eective regulatory enforcement.
Property rights are also well protected.
Protection of fundamental rights is weak
(ranking seventy-fth), particularly with
regard to discrimination and labor rights.
Lebanon ranks rst in the region on
protection of fundamental rights (ranked
thirty-ninth globally), and has relatively
eective checks on government power
(ranking forty-fourth), including a
vibrant civil society and a free media.
The country ranks poorly on measures

oI corruption (sixty-second) and
government agencies struggle with
ineIIiciencies. The country is relatively
saIe Irom crime, but political violence
is a major problem. The civil court
system ranks poorly (seventy-seventh),
mainly because oI corruption, delays,
discrimination against marginalized
groups, and the lack oI due process
in criminal cases. Harsh conditions in
correctional Iacilities are also a source
oI concern.
Morocco has seen improvements as a
result oI ongoing reIorms in the areas oI
open government (ranking thirty-ninth)
and government accountability (ranking
Iorty-third). Despite the progress
achieved, substantial challenges remain
in the dimensions oI corruption (ranking
eightieth), regulatory enIorcement
(ranking sixty-Iirst), and protection oI
Iundamental rights (ranking eightieth).
The civil justice system ranks Iorty-
eighth overall and third among
lower-middle income countries, and
the criminal justice system ranks poorly
(eighty-ninth), due in large part to lack
oI due process. On the other hand,
Morocco outperIorms most lower-

Box 9 : Value of Indicators
Indices and indicators are very useful tools. The systematic tracking of infant mortality rates,
for instance, has greatly contributed to improving health outcomes around the globe. In a
similar fashion, the WJP Rule of Law Index monitors the health of a countrys institutional
environmentsuch as whether government officials are accountable under the law, and
whether legal institutions protect fundamental rights and provide ordinary people access to
justice. By producing independent, comprehensive, and policy-oriented rule of law indicators
worldwide, the Index aims to be a reliable source of impartial data that can be used to measure
and assess a nations adherence to the rule of law in practice, and help identify priorities for
reform. In these ways, the Index can be a powerful tool for mobilizing efforts by policymakers
and civil society to strengthen the rule of law.
One example of the usefulness of the Index in informing policy debates comes from the
work of the WJP in Tunisia. In May 2012, the WJP hosted a small, country-level workshop in
Tunis, which convened more than two dozen well-placed representatives of Tunisias civil
society, government, media, and business sectors to come together to assess rule of law
challenges facing Tunisia and develop recommendations for the countrys ongoing reform
process in the aftermath of the Tunisian revolution. At the meeting, new polling data from
the WJP Rule of Law Index was used to help identify strengths and weaknesses of the rule of
law in Tunisia. Workshop participants discussed the transition in Tunisia in light of the Index
findings and international examples of constitutional transition processes in Afghanistan,
Spain, Colombia, and South Africa. They developed a set of recommendations and presented
them to the press and to Tunisian government leaders.
The outcome of this engagement was a document both produced and owned by Tunisians,
which discussed the importance of the rule of law to Tunisias historic transition. This project
exemplifies the value of indices and indicators in informing policy discussions and the
transformative power of multidisciplinary collaboration in strengthening the rule of law.

is not as pervasive as in most other
countries oI the region (ranking thirty-

globally, and Iourth among its regional
peers and on protection oI Iundamental

The United Arab Emirates leads the

country is saIe Irom crime and violence
(ranking IiIth in the world) and the civil
court system is eIIicient and relatively
independent, although discrimination
against marginalized groups is a
problem. On the other hand, the Iormal
system oI checks and balances remains
weak, and the country has a poor record
on respect Ior Iundamental rights
(ranking eighty-second), including
labor rights, Ireedom oI assembly,

Latin America presents a picture of sharp
contrasts. In spite of recent movements
toward openness and political freedoms
that have positioned many countries at
the forefront of protecting basic rights
and civil liberties, the regions public
institutions remain fragile. Corruption
and a lack of government accountability
are still prevalent, and the perception
of impunity remains widespread.
Furthermore, public institutions in Latin
America are not as ecient as those of
countries in other regions, and police
forces struggle to provide protection
from crime and to punish perpetrators
for abuses. Crime rates in Latin American
countries are the highest in the world
and their criminal investigation and
adjudication systems rank among the
worst.
Argentina faces challenges in
many dimensions of the rule of law.
Government accountability is weak,
partly because of the poor performance
of government agencies in investigating
allegations of misconduct, as well
as political interference with law
enforcement agencies and the judiciary.
Regulatory agencies are perceived
as ineective (ranking seventy-fth
globally and fourth to last in the region)
and property rights are weak. Another
area of concern is the high incidence of
crime. In contrast, Argentina performs
well on protection of fundamental
rights, including freedom of religion and
freedom of assembly and association.
The court system, although slow and
not fully independent, is relatively
accessible.
Bolivia is one of the weakest performers
in the region in many dimensions
of the rule of law. The country faces
challenges in terms of transparency and
accountability of public institutions,
reecting a climate characterized by
impunity, corruption, and political
interference. The judicial system is
inecient and aected by corruption.
The country performs poorly in the
areas of discrimination and respect for
fundamental rights, most notably
freedom of opinion and expression.
Property rights are weak, and police
abuses are a signicant problem. Bolivias
best performance is in the area of order
and security, where it ranks sixty-third
globally, and fourth among its regional
peers.
Brazil follows Chile and Uruguay as the
third-best performer in the region and
has the highest marks overall among
the BRIC economies. The country has
a good system of checks on executive
power (ranked thirty-fth), although a
perceived culture of impunity among
government ocials is a source of
concern. Fundamental rights are
generally respected, with Brazil ranking

IiIth among upper middle income
countries and Iourthamong its regional
peers. Regulatory agencies are
perceived as relatively independent,
but ineIIicient. The civil justice system
is relatively accessible (ranking Iorty-
third globally and third in the region),
although court procedures are prone
to delays and decisions are sometimes
diIIicult to enIorce. Brazil`s lowest
score is in the area oI order and security,
ranking sixty-ninth among all indexed
countries, due to high crime rates.
Police abuses and harsh conditions
in correctional Iacilities are also a
problem.
Chile leads the region in Iour
dimensions oI the rule oI law, and
ranks in the top 25 worldwide in
six dimensions. The government is
accountable and courts are transparent
and eIIicient. While Chile`s crime rates
are relatively high in comparison to
other upper middle income countries,
the criminal justice system is eIIective
and generally adheres to due process.
Areas in need oI attention include
discrimination against low income
groups and ethnic minorities, harsh
conditions in correctional Iacilities, and
criminal recidivism.
Colombia outperIorms most Latin
American countries in the dimensions
oI regulatory enIorcement (ranking IiIth
in the region) and open government
(ranking seventh in the region and
thirty-eighth globally). The judicial
system is independent and one oI the
most accessible and aIIordable in the
region; however, it is aIIlicted by
delays and lack oI eIIectiveness in the
investigation and prosecution oI crimes.
Colombia Iaces serious challenges
in the area oI order and security
(ranking ninety-IiIth), which is partly
attributable to the presence oI powerIul
criminal organizations. Police abuses,
violations oI human rights, and poor
conditions at correctional Iacilities are
also signiIicant problems. Civil conIlict
remains an area oI concern.
The Dominican Republic perIorms
relatively well in open government
(ranking thirty-sixth overall and sixth
in Latin America), and has a relatively
eIIicient civil court system. However,
crime and vigilante justice, lack oI
accountability Ior misconduct oI
government oIIicers, corruption, and
poor conditions at correctional Iacilities
require attention.
Ecuador underperIorms the majority
oI Latin American countries in most
dimensions oI the rule oI law. Security is
a major concern (ranking eighty-IiIth).
Government accountability is weak and
checks on the executive are limited
(ranking eighty-Iirst globally and
thirteenth in the region). Administrative
agencies Iall within regional standards,
but they are not as eIIective in
enIorcing regulations as others in the
region. Civil courts are ineIIicient, and
vulnerable to corruption and political
interIerence (ranking eighty-IiIth
globally and third to last among upper-
middle income countries). Protection
oI property rights is weak. On the other
hand, the Ecuadorian criminal justice
system, although not Iree oI problems,
ranks better than most other systems in
the region. Ecuador perIorms relatively
well in protecting labor rights.
El Salvador Ialls in the middle oI the
global rankings in most categories. The
country ranks relatively well in the
areas oI regulatory enIorcement and

access to civil justice, particularly when
compared with countries at similar
stages oI economic development. The
country Iaces serious challenges in the
area oI security, and in criminal justice
where it ranks second to last in the
worldchieIly because oI corruption
among judges and law enIorcement
oIIicials, police abuses, and harsh
conditions at correctional Iacilities.
Guatemala places in the bottom
halI oI Latin American countries in
most dimensions oI the rule oI law.
Its civil and criminal justice systems
rank eighty-eighth and eighty-Iourth,
respectively, and the country suIIers
Irom widespread crime and corruption.
Guatemala perIorms relatively well
on Ireedom oI religion, Ireedom oI
assembly, and eIIective protection oI
the right to petition the government
when compared with its income-group
peers.
1amaica perIorms strongly in
guaranteeing Ireedom oI religion and
Ireedom oI opinion and expression.
The judicial system is independent and
relatively Iree oI corruption, but it is
also slow and ineIIective. Police abuses
and harsh conditions at correctional
Iacilities are a source oI concern.
The country`s main weaknesses lie in
the dimensions oI security and open
government, in which the country
ranks twenty-third and twenty-Iourth,
respectively among upper-middle
income countries. Vigilante justice and
organized crime are among the areas in
need oI attention.
Mexico has a long constitutional
tradition with an independent judiciary
and strong protections Ior Iree speech
and Ireedom oI religion. Mexico stands
out among Latin American countries
Ior eIIective checks on government
power (ranking sixth in the region) and
an open government (ranking thirty-
second globally and IiIth within the
region). Corruption is a serious problem
in all branches oI government (ranking
seventy-Iourth), and Mexico`s police
Iorces struggle to guarantee the security
oI its citizens against crime and violence
(ranking ninety-Iirst). The criminal
justice system also ranks ninety-Iirst,
mainly because oI weaknesses in the
criminal investigation and adjudication
systems, prevalent discrimination
against vulnerable groups, corruption
among judges and law enIorcement
oIIicials, and violations oI due process
oI law and the rights oI the accused.
Failures to prosecute government
oIIicials who commit violations and
corrupt acts are also a cause oI concern.
Nicaragua ranks ninety-third in
government accountability due to the
erosion oI checks on the executive
branch and political interIerence within
the legislature and the judiciary. The
perIormance oI administrative agencies
is on par with other countries in the
region. Civil courts, however, are
ineIIicient and corrupt, even by regional
standards (ranking eighty-sixth overall
and twelIth in the region). Although not
as large a problem as in other countries
oI the region, crime is an area in need
oI attention. Nicaragua perIorms better
on measures oI openness and civic
participation (ranking IiIty-second)
and labor rights are relatively well
protected.
Panama ranks particularly well on open
government (ranking twenty-eighth
overall and third in the region) and

Crime rates in Latin America are among the
highest in the world (Figure 6). Although
there are many different contributing
factors, one of the most important relates to
deficiencies in the criminal justice system.
A well-functioning criminal justice system
serves to inhibit crime by providing strong
disincentives to potential lawbreakers. An
ineffective and corrupt system, on the other
hand, provides little deterrence to criminal
behavior.
With high crime rates prevalent throughout
Latin America, the state of the regions
criminal justice system is a cause for
concern. Criminal investigations in much
of the region are ineffective and criminal
adjudications are often unreliable, resulting
in low arrest and conviction rates (Figure 7).
Systemic corruption among judges and law
enforcement officials (second only to sub-
Saharan Africa) adds to the problem. In many
countries, the possibility for offenders to buy
their way out of punishment renders the
entire system toothless. Moreover, in many
countries, when perpetrators are caught
and imprisoned, they continue to engage
in criminal activity from within the prison
system. Sub-factor 8.3 measures whether a
countrys correctional system is effective in
reducing criminal behavior. Latin America
ranks last overall, and contains seven of
the 13 weakest performers.
An ineffective criminal justice system
undermines public confidence and can
lead to the adoption of harsh measures
that violate rights without enhancing
public safety. Reducing crime rates in Latin
America requires, among other things,
comprehensive reform of the criminal
justice system that embraces all the actors
in order to build a system that deters
crime and incapacitates offenders while
respecting human rights.

Administrative agencies are ineIIicient
in enIorcing regulations, although their
perIormance is on par with most other
nations in the region (ranking IiIty-Iirst
overall). The judiciary is ineIIicient
and inIluenced by other branches oI
government. Crime is a signiIicant
problem, although not as high as in
most oI the region. The criminal justice
system has substantial deIiciencies
(ranking eighty-second globally and
twenty-eighth among upper middle
income countries).
Peru ranks in the middle oI Latin
American countries in most dimensions.
It scores well with regard to checks
on executive power (thirty-second
globally and third in the region) as well
as in protection oI Iundamental rights,
including Ireedom oI thought and
religion and Ireedom oI opinion and
expression. The country ranks poorly
on measures oI corruption (seventy-
IiIth overall and twenty-eighth among
upper-middle income countries) and
government agencies struggle with
ineIIiciencies. The civil justice system
is perceived as slow, expensive,
and inaccessible, particularly Ior
disadvantaged groups. The criminal
justice system ranks IiIty-seventhdue
chieIly to corruption and deIiciencies
in the criminal investigation and
adjudication systems.
Uruguay is the region`s second best
perIormer. The country scores relatively
well on government accountability
(ranking twenty-sixth) and absence
oI corruption (ranking seventeenth).
Administrative agencies are eIIective
in enIorcing regulations and civil courts
are independent, accessible, and Iree oI
improper inIluence. Uruguay`s lowest
score is in the area oI security, on
which it ranks IiIty-sixth. The country
also Iaces challenges in strengthening
the Iunctioning oI its criminal justice
system (ranking Iorty-IiIth).
Venezuela is the weakest perIormer in
the region in most dimensions oI the
rule oI law. Government accountability
is weak (ranking third to last in the
world), corruption is widespread
(ranking eighty-Iirst), crime and
violence are common (ranking
ninetieth), government institutions
are not transparent, and the criminal
justice system is ineIIective and subject
to political inIluence (ranking last in
the world). The country also displays
serious Ilaws in guaranteeing respect
Ior Iundamental rights, in particular,
Ireedom oI opinion and expression,
and the right to privacy. Property rights
are weak. Venezuela`s strongest scores
are in the areas oI religious Ireedom,
accessibility oI the civil courts, and
protection oI labor rights.

When examined holistically as a region,
Sub-Saharan Africa (AFR) lags behind
other regions around the world in nearly
all dimensions of the rule of law. Despite
ongoing reforms, many countries lack
adequate checks on executive authority,
and government accountability is also
weak. Many public institutions and courts
throughout the region are inecient and
vulnerable to undue inuence. Crime and
vigilante justice also weigh heavily on
the region. Although the regions record
on fundamental rights is mixed, most
countries do relatively well in protecting
the fundamental freedoms of speech,
religion, and assembly. Top performers
in the region include Botswana and
Ghana, which have begun to outperform
some higher income countries in several
dimensions.
Botswanaranks rst in the region in all
dimensions of the rule of law but one.
There is an eective system of checks
and balances, including an independent
judiciary and a free press.Corruption is
minimal and all branches of government
operate effectively. Fundamental rights
are generally respected (ranking fth in
the region), although limitations on
the right to privacy and discrimination
against immigrants and ethnic minorities
are areas of concern. Although the civil
and criminal justice systems compare
favorably to other countries in the
region, delays and the poor condition of
correctional facilities are areas in need
of attention.
Burkina Faso outperforms most of its
regional and income peers in all but one
dimension of the rule of law.As compared
to other countries in the region, the
country scores well in the areas of
regulatory enforcement and civil justice,
ranking third and fourth in the region,
respectively. The country also performs
relatively well in freedom of speech,
assembly, and religion, and protection
of fundamental labor rights. The country
ranks seventy-ninth in government
accountability due to the lack of rigorous
checks on the executive and political
interference among the dierent
branches of government. Although not
as pervasive as in other parts of Africa,
corruption is commonplace, and crime
and vigilante justice are signicant
challenges. The criminal justice system
also requires attention (ranking sixty-
third overall and ninth within the
region), particularly as concerns the lack
of due process and harsh conditions in
correctional facilities.
Cameroon lags behind its regional and
income peers in most categories. The
country faces challenges in terms of
accountability and the functioning of
public institutions. Checks and balances
are poor (ranking ninety-fourth overall

and second to last within the region),
and corruption is pervasive (ranking
last in the world). The civil court
system is slow and subject to political
inIluence. The country scores poorly
on respect Ior Iundamental rights
(ranking ninetieth), including Ireedom
oI assembly, opinion, and expression,
as well as labor rights. Cameroon has
a relatively low incidence oI crime,
but police abuses, a high incidence oI
mob and vigilante justice, and harsh
conditions in correctional Iacilities are
areas in need oI attention.
Cote d`Ivoire is in the lower halI oI
the regional rankings on most rule
oI law dimensions. It ranks eightieth
globally and IiIteenth in the region
on checks on government power due
to limitations on the independence
oI the judiciary and the legislature
and governmental pressure on the
media and civil society organizations.
ConIlict-related violence and
violations oI Iundamental rights are
serious concerns, including torture,
disappearances, and extrajudicial
execution oI political opponents, and
restrictions on Ireedom oI speech
and privacy. The civil justice system
Iunctions relatively well (ranking
eighth among lower middle-income
countries). The criminal system ranks
eighty-IiIth, due in part to violations
oI due process and poor conditions oI
correctional Iacilities. The country`s
best perIormance is in the area oI
eIIective regulatory enIorcement
ranking sixth in the region and seventh
among lower middle-income countries.
Ethiopia is in the bottom halI oI the
rankings among low income countries
in most dimensions. Accountability
is very weak by regional standards
(ranking eighty-eighth globally and
third to last among low income nations)
and corruption is prevalent. The
perIormance oI regulatory agencies and
courts is weak. The country has a very
poor record in protecting Iundamental
rights, ranking ninety-second globally
and second to last in the region. OI
greatest concern are restrictions limiting
Ireedom oI speech and assembly as well
as illegal detentions and due process
violations. Property rights are weak.
Ghana is the strongest perIormer
among low-income countries in most
dimensions. The country has strong
protections Ior Iundamental rights
(ranking twenty-ninth overall and Iirst
in the region), a Iunctioning system
oI checks and balances (ranking
twenty-third overall and second in
the region) and an open government
(ranking thirtieth overall and third in
the region). Administrative eIIiciency
and corruption are a challenge,
although the country outperIorms most
oI its regional peers in both dimensions.
The civil justice system is relatively
independent, but slow and inaccessible
to most people. Security Irom crime
(ranking sixty-Iirst), vigilante justice,
and deIiciencies in the criminal
investigation and adjudication systems,
are areas that require attention.
Kenya ranks seventy-IiIth in
government accountability, which is
partly attributable to the inability oI
the legislature and the judiciary to act
as an eIIective check on the executive
branch. Corruption is widespread and
regulatory enIorcement is ineIIective
by regional standards. Crime and
vigilante justice are areas oI concern.
On the other hand, the country scores

Countries grouped in quartiles according to their Factor 4 score.
In 1948, the United Nations General Assembly
adopted the Universal Declaration of Human

centrality of fundamental rights to the rule
of law, stating that it is essential, if man is
not to be compelled to have recourse, as a

oppression, that human rights should be
protected by the rule of law.
The WJP Rule of Law Index addresses protection
of fundamental rights in Factor 4, measuring
how effectively countries uphold and protect
a menu of rights and freedoms that are firmly
established under international law. These
include: the right to equal treatment and the
absence of discrimination, the right to life and
security of the person, due process of law and
rights of the accused, freedom of opinion and
expression, freedom of belief and religion, the
absence of arbitrary interference with privacy,
freedom of assembly and association, and the
protection of fundamental labor rights.
Figure 8 illustrates the wide variations from
region to region in the extent to which
fundamental rights are given effective
protection.

Liberia`s scores reIlect recent
advances toward a Iunctioning system

among low-income countries) but lacks
eIIective sanctions to punish oIIicial
misconduct. Despite ongoing reIorms,
the quality oI administrative agencies

the other hand, Liberia outperIorms its
regional peers in protecting Ireedom oI
speech, religion and assembly.
Madagascar is in the upper halI oI low
income countries on all dimensions
oI the rule oI law. However, the
country has relatively weak checks on
government powers (ranking seventy-
third overall and tenth within the region)
and widespread corruption (seventy-
second overall and eleventh in the
region). Following the 2009 coup, the
absence oI legitimate mechanisms Ior
the orderly transition oI power remains
a major rule oI law concern. There are
signiIicant limitations on Ireedom oI
speech and privacy, as well as on the
ability to petition the government and
to access oIIicial inIormation. Police
abuses and delays in the justice system
are also areas oI concern. The country`s
strongest scores are in the areas oI
order and security (ranking second in
the region and Iirst among low income
countries), and delivery oI criminal
justice (ranking second regionally and
by income level).
Malawi achieves its highest scores in
the dimensions oI civil justice (ranking
thirty-IiIth overall and third in the
region) and order and security (ranking
IiIty-seventh overall and Iourth in the
region). Its weakest perIormance is
in protection oI Iundamental rights
(eighty-Iirst overall and twelIth in the
region), and checks on government
powers (ranking sixty-IiIth overall
and ninth in the region). The judiciary
is relatively independent, accessible,
eIIective and Iree oI corruption.
EnIorcement oI government
regulations, availability oI oIIicial
inIormation, violations oI due process,
and poor conditions oI correctional
Iacilities are areas oI concern.
Nigeria ranks near the bottom halI
oI lower middle-income countries
in most dimensions. Checks on
the executive branch are relatively
weak (ranking seventy-Iourth) and
corruption is endemic (ranking ninety-
IiIth). The country is aIIlicted with
civil conIlict and political violence.
Crime and vigilante justice are serious
problems (ranking ninety-Iourth), as is
the perIormance oI the criminal justice
system (ranked ninety-Iourth overall
and last in the region). Nigeria`s best
perIormance is in the area oI civil
justice, where it ranks IiIty-third
globally and Iourth among its income
peers.
Senegal is in the top halI oI the rankings
among lower-middle income countries
in most dimensions, owing to ongoing
reIorms. The country scores relatively
well on checks on government power
(ranking Iorty-second overall and
Iourth among its income group).
Administrative proceedings are more
eIIicient than elsewhere in the region
and the civil justice system is relatively
independent, but slow and inaccessible
to most people. Corruption is a
problem, as is open government, on
which the country ranks seventy-
IiIth. The country ranks Iorty-seventh
in protecting Iundamental rights and
Iourth within the region, although
police abuses and harsh treatment oI
prisoners are a source oI concern.
Sierra Leone ranks second among
low income countries, and IiIth in
the region with respect to checks on
government power. The judiciary
and the legislature are relatively
independent, and the press and civil

society organizations are mostly Iree

problems include high crime rates,
widespread corruption, ineIIective
regulatory enIorcement, lack oI oIIicial

the criminal justice system.
South Africa is in the top halI oI
the rankings among upper-middle
income countries in most dimensions.
The country has relatively eIIective
checks on government power
(ranking thirty-Iourth) and an open
government (ranking twenty-seventh).
The country`s civil justice system is
independent, but slow. The lack oI
security and the prevalence oI crime
and vigilante justice are serious
problems (ranking eighty-eighth
overall). The country has a relatively
ineIIective criminal justice system, and
the condition oI correctional Iacilities
is poor.
Tanzania ranks in the upper halI oI low
income countries in most dimensions
oI the rule oI law. The country`s
highest marks are in the dimension oI
limited government powers (ranking
third among low income countries
and sixth in the region). However, the
judiciary is ineIIicient and aIIected by
corruption. Crime and vigilante justice
are major problems. Poor regulatory
enIorcement and lack oI access to
oIIicial inIormation are other areas oI
concern.
Uganda ranks below the majority oI
countries in the region in all dimensions
oI the rule oI law. Government
accountability is weak by regional
standards (ranking thirteenth regionally
and seventy-eighth globally) and
administrative agencies are ineIIicient
and aIIected by corruption (ranking
eighty-second overall and Iourteenth
within the region). Protection oI
Iundamental rights is weak (ranking
eighty-sixth), and civil conIlict and
political violence remain signiIicant
challenges. Courts, although relatively
independent, are under-resourced,
slow, and inaccessible to most people.
Zambia ranks in the lower halI oI
lower middle income countries in
most dimensions oI the rule oI law.
It scores relatively well on checks on
government power (ninth in its income
group and eighth in the region).
The legislature and judiciary are
vulnerable to government interIerence,
and transitions oI power occur in
accordance with the law. Protection
oI Iundamental rights, including
Ireedom oI speech and assembly,
is very weak, ranking ninety-Iirst
overall and twenty-Iirst among lower
middle-income countries. Other rule
oI law concerns include the limited
availability oI oIIicial inIormation,
delays in judicial and administrative
proceedings, vigilante justice,
discrimination against marginalized
segments oI society, and poor
conditions oI correctional Iacilities.
The country`s best perIormance is on
corruption (ranking sixth among its
income group and sixth in the region).
Zimbabwe is among the weakest
perIormers worldwide in most
dimensions oI the rule oI law. Checks on
government power are extremely weak
(ranking ninety-sixth), and the country
Iails to protect Iundamental rights
(ranked ninety-sixth and last among its
regional and income peers), including
Ireedom oI speech, assembly and

South Asia
Although many countries in the region
have made eorts to strengthen
governance, South Asia, as a region, is
the weakest performer overall in most
dimensions of the rule of law. These
countries are characterized by high levels
of corruption and a lack of government
accountability. Administrative agencies
are inecient and civil courts are slow.
Civil conict and insecurity are major
threats to stability and progress. The
region has relatively low crime rates.
Criminal justice systems, although not
without problems, perform slightly
better than those in other regions of the
world.
Bangladesh scores poorly in government
accountability (ranking eighty-third
globally and twelfth among low-income
countries), and administrative agencies
and courts are extremely inecient
and corrupt. The country faces serious
challenges in the dimension of civil
justice, in which it ranks last in the world,
mainly because of the lengthy duration
of cases and judicial corruption. Human
rights violations and police abuses are
also a signicant problem. Bangladeshs
best performance is in the area of order
and security, where it ranks seventy-
second globally and ninth among low-
income countries. The country has lower
crime rates than many countries with
higher levels of economic development,
although mob justice is a persistent
problem.
India has a robust system of checks
and balances (ranked thirty-seventh
worldwide and second among lower
middle income countries), an independent
judiciary, strong protections for freedom
of speech, and a relatively open
government (ranking ftieth globally
and fourth among lower-middle income
countries). Administrative agencies
do not perform well (ranking seventy-
ninth), and the civil court system ranks
poorly (ranking seventy-eighth), mainly
because of deciencies in the areas of
court congestion, enforcement, and
delays in processing cases. Corruption
is a signicant problem (ranking eighty-
third), and police discrimination and
abuses are not unusual. Order and
security including crime, civil conict,
and political violence is a serious
concern (ranked second lowest in the
world).
Nepal outperforms its regional peers
and most other low income countries in
several dimensions of the rule of law.The
countrys best scores are in the areas of
criminal justice (ranking rst among
low income countries and second in
the region), protection of fundamental
rights (ranking third among low income
countries and second in the region),
and absence of crime. Rule of law areas

include endemic corruption, especially
among the judiciary and the legislature,
severe limitations in the accessibility and
aIIordability oI civil justice, delays in
administrative and judicial proceedings,
instability oI the legal Iramework, and
impunity Ior governmental abuses and
human rights violations.
Pakistan shows weaknesses in most
dimensions when compared to its
regional and income group peers. Low
levels oI government accountability
are compounded by the prevalence
oI corruption, a weak justice system, and
a poor security situation, particularly
related to terrorism and crime. The
country scores more strongly on
judicial independence and Iairness in
administrative proceedings.
Sri Lanka outperIorms its regional
peers in all but two dimensions oI the
rule oI law. The country also outpaces
most lower-middle income countries in
several areas, ranking second in criminal
justice, and third in the dimensions
oI open government, eIIective
regulatory enIorcement, and absence oI
corruption. On the other hand, violence
and human rights violations related to
the legacy oI a protracted civil conIlict
are serious problems. Other areas oI
concern are vigilante justice, delays and
barriers to access civil justice, and lack
oI accessibility oI oIIicial inIormation.

HOW TO READ THE
COUNTRY PROFILES
Each country proIile presents the
Ieatured country`s scores Ior each oI
the WJP Rule oI Law Index`s Iactors
and sub-Iactors, and draws comparisons
between the scores oI the Ieatured
country and the scores oI other indexed
countries that share regional and income
level similarities. All variables used to
score each oI the eight independent
Iactors are coded and rescaled to range
between 0 and 1, where 1 signiIies the
highest score and 0 signiIies the lowest
score.

The table in Section 1 displays the
Ieatured country`s aggregate scores
by Iactor, and the country`s rankings
within its regional and income level
groups.

Section 2
Disaggregated Scores
Section 2 displays Iour graphs that show
the country`s disaggregated scores Ior
each oI the sub-Iactors that compose
the WJP Rule oI Law Index.
Country Proles
This section presents proIiles Ior the 97 countries included in the 2012-2013 Index.
Each graph shows a circle that
corresponds to one concept measured
by the Index. Each sub-Iactor is
represented by a radius running Irom
the center oI the circle to the periphery.
The center oI each circle corresponds
to the lowest possible score Ior each
sub-Iactor (0.00) and the outer edge oI
the circle marks the highest possible
score Ior each sub-Iactor (1.00). Higher
scores signiIy a higher adherence to the
rule oI law.
The Ieatured country scores are shown
in purple. The graphs also show the
average scores oI all countries indexed
within the region (in green) and all
countries indexed with comparable per
capita income levels (in orange). As a
point oI reIerence, the graphs also show
the score achieved Ior each sub-Iactor
by the top perIormer amongst all 97
countries indexed (in black).

Data Notes |
The WJP Rule oI Law Index provides
new indicators on nine Iactors and
48 sub-Iactors. These Iactors and
sub-Iactors correspond to goals, or
outcomes, that rule oI law societies
seek to achieve and that policy makers
might want to inIluence. The WJP
Rule oI Law Index is a Iirst attempt to
systematically and comprehensively
quantiIy these outcomes through
operationalization oI the rule oI law
dimensions into concrete questions.
These questions are administered to a
representative sample oI the general
public, and to local experts, and then are
analyzed and cross-checked pursuant to
a rigorous triangulation methodology.
The outcome oI this exercise is one oI
the world`s most comprehensive data
sets on the extent to which countries
adhere to the rule oI law in practice.
The WJP Rule oI Law Index 2012-2013
builds on more than 400 variables drawn
Irom the assessments oI more than
97,000 people and 2,500 local experts
in 97 countries and jurisdictions.
OUTCOMES VS. INPUTS
The WJP Rule oI Law Index 2012-2013
measures outcomes rather than inputs.
More speciIically, our aim is to provide
a picture oI where countries stand with
regard to a number oI widely accepted
outcomes that rule oI law societies
Data Notes
seek to achieve, as opposed to the
institutional means, such as the legal
and regulatory Irameworks, to attain
them. Some examples oI outcomes
measured by the Index include respect
Ior Iundamental rights, absence oI
corruption, and delivery oI justice.
Examples oI inputs include a country`s
number oI courts, number oI police
oIIicers, and judicial budget.
Measuring outcomes improves accuracy
while reducing the risk oI misdiagnosing
the causes oI problems and bottlenecks.
For instance, police resources are just
one oI the many inputs oI eIIective
policing (an outcome), and it may or
may not be the driving reason behind
crime rates. Since the Index does not
contain all the elements to diagnose
the root causes oI the country`s rule oI
law weaknesses, we Iocus on outcomes
which, in the end, are the goals policy
makers want to address. Relevant inputs
will continue to be captured by the
methodology, as they are essential Ior
policy analysis, and will be incorporated
in the Index`s spin-oII products, which
will complement the Index Iramework
and provide a solid basis Ior policy
analysis and discussion.

the society. The GPP questionnaire
was designed to provide inIormation
on the experiences and the perceptions
oI ordinary people about their dealings
with the government, the police, and the
courts; the openness and accountability
oI the State; the extent oI corruption;
and the magnitude oI common crimes
to which the general public is exposed.
The latest questionnaire includes
91 perception-based questions and
58 experience-based questions.
In addition, socio-demographic
inIormation was also collected. In
all countries, the questionnaire was
translated into local languages and
adapted to common expressions. The
poll was carried out on a probability
sample oI 1,000 respondents drawn
Irom the three largest cities in each
country, and was conducted by leading
local polling companies on behalI oI the
World Justice Project. Depending on
the particular situation oI each country,
three diIIerent polling methodologies
were used: CATI, Online, or F2F. The
cities covered, the polling company,
and the polling methodology employed
in all 97 countries are presented in Table
4. For the Iirst wave oI countries, data
were gathered in September 2009. For
the second wave, they were collected
in April 2011. For the third wave oI
countries, data were collected in July
2012.
The QualiIied Respondents`
Questionnaire (QRQ) is designed to
complement polling data with expert
opinion on a variety oI dimensions
relevant to the rule oI law. The
expert questionnaires were tailored
to Iour areas oI expertise: civil and
commercial law, criminal justice (due
process); labor law, and public health.
The questionnaires cover diIIerent
LAW IN PRACTICE VS.
LAW ON THE BOOKS
In order to evaluate the rule oI law
in a given country, it is necessary to
look not only at the laws as written
(de fure), but also at how they are
actually implemented in practice and
experienced by those who are subject to
them (de facto). Unlike other indices, the
WJP Rule oI Law Index methodology
Iocuses entirely on adherence to the
rule oI law in practice.
A NEW DATA SET
The WJP`s Rule oI Law Index is based
on the premise that it is necessary to
use diIIerent but complementary data
sources to best approximate the concept
oI the rule oI law. Currently, there is no
comparable data that Iully covers all
dimensions oI the rule oI law. The WJP
Rule oI Law Index addresses this gap
by constructing a new set oI indicators
drawn Irom two novel data sources:
A general population poll (GPP)
conducted by leading local polling
companies using a probability
sample oI 1,000 respondents in the
three largest cities oI each country.
Qualifed respondents`
questionnaires (QRQ) completed
by in-country experts in civil and
commercial law, criminal justice,
labor law, and public health.
The general population poll (GPP)
is a key component oI the Index as it
provides inIormation on how the rule
oI law is experienced by the people,
including marginalized segments oI

they might not comprehend Iactors such
as crime in diIIerent neighborhoods,
which is a problem experienced on a
daily basis by the general public. The
second goal is to validate our Iindings
by providing diIIerent perspectives on
the same issue (see Data validation and
cross-checks section below). In this
way, the Index anchors expert opinion
on rigorous polling oI the general
public to ensure that the Iindings
reIlect the conditions experienced by
the population, including marginalized
sectors oI society.
COMBINING
SEVERAL QUESTIONS
TO MEASURE A
COMPLEX CONCEPT
No single question can cover all oI the
dimensions oI the concepts described
by the diIIerent Iactors and sub-Iactors,
thereIore, the WJP`s Rule oI Law
Index measures each oI the concepts
with several variables. By combining a
series oI questions, with each reIlecting
diIIerent aspects oI a particular concept,
it is possible to create composite
indicators that better capture the reality
oI a complex concept, such as the
rule oI law. For instance, sub-Iactor
6.2 measures whether government
regulations are applied and enIorced
without the exercise oI bribery or
improper inIluence. Given the large
number oI regulations emerging Irom
diIIerent governmental bodies in
each country, it is clear that no single
question can adequately encompass this
concept. The Index thus incorporates
a series oI 33 questions Ialling under
aspects oI the majority oI Iactors, but
are tailored to suit the knowledge and
expertise oI each type oI respondent.
The questionnaires include close-
ended perception questions and several
hypothetical scenarios with highly
detailed Iactual assumptions aimed
at ensuring comparability across
countries. QualiIied respondents
are selected based solely on their
proIessional expertise by using two
methods. The Iirst method involves a
two-stage procedure. In the Iirst stage,
a large number oI organizations are
selected Irom a set oI directories oI law
Iirms, universities/colleges, research
organizations, and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs). In the second
stage, a random sample oI experts
is drawn Irom within the selected
organizations. Once a suIIicient number
oI potential respondents are identiIied,
questionnaires are sent to the selected
individuals. The second method builds
on the WJP network oI practitioners and
academics- people who have provided
signiIicant input to the development
oI the Index. Data collection was
conducted Irom May 2012 through
October 2012.
The Index is thus based on data Irom
experts and data Irom the general
public. The intent in using these two
data sources is twoIold - the Iirst is to
complement the inIormation provided
by the experts` assessments (specialized
knowledge oI certain processes, actors,
and circumstances) with that oI the
general public (diIIerent rule oI law
problems as experienced by the people).
The underlying concept is that experts
and lay people are knowledgeable
about diIIerent rule oI law situations.
For instance, while experts are Iamiliar
with the duration oI cases in courts,

diIIerent regulatory areas, such as
labor, environment, public health,
education, public registries, and
procurement. With all this inIormation,
we create a composite measure that
conveys more precisely the extent oI
bribery and corruption in regulatory
implementation. Overall, the Index
combines more than 400 detailed
questions to measure the concepts
represented in the diIIerent sub-Iactors
oI the WJP`s Rule oI Law Index.
BUILDING INDICATORS
All variables included in the Rule oI
Law Index were normalized using the
Min-Max method, so that all variables
are expressed in a scale Irom 0 (low
rule oI law) to 1 (high rule oI law).
Individual variables covering the
same concept were averaged and then
aggregated into sub-Iactors and Iactors
using simple averages. These scores
are the basis oI the Iinal rankings. In
all cases, the base level oI aggregation
Ior each sub-Iactor is calculated with a
weight oI 50 Ior the QRQ variables,
and 50 Ior the GPP variables.
1
DATA VALIDATION
AND CROSS-CHECKS
Another distinguishing Ieature oI the
WJP`s Rule oI Law Index is that it
approaches the measurement oI rule
1 Composite indicators are subject to several sources oI uncertainty,
including sampling error, missing data, weighting, normalization, or
aggregation rules, to mention just a Iew. To assess the impact oI such
uncertainties on our estimates, we asked the Joint Research Centre oI the
European Commission to perIorm a sensitivity analysis based a combination
oI Monte Carlo experiments, bootstrapping, and multi-modeling approaches
|Saisana, M and Saltelli, A. (2012)|. Their analysis has demonstrated the
robustness oI our fndings, i.e., that 90 percent oI the countries show a shiIt
oI less than +1 position.
oI law Irom various angles so as to
improve the validity and reliability
oI the resultant scores a method
known as triangulation. The Rule oI
Law Index triangulates inIormation
across data sources and also across
types oI questions. This approach not
only enables accounting Ior diIIerent
perspectives on the rule oI law, but it also
helps to reduce possible bias that might
be introduced by any one particular
data collection method. In addition, the
Index employs both a qualitative and
quantitative methodology Ior cross-
checking its Iindings in order to identiIy
discrepancies between the Index and
other data sources.
LIMITATIONS
With the aIorementioned methodological
strengths come a number oI limitations.
First, the data will shed light on
rule oI law dimensions that appear
comparatively strong or weak, but will
not be speciIic enough to establish
causation. Thus, it will be necessary to
use the Index in combination with other
analytical tools to provide a Iull picture
oI causes and possible solutions.
Second, the methodology has been
applied only in three major urban areas
in each oI the indexed countries. As
the project evolves, the WJP intends
to extend the application oI the
methodology to other urban areas, and
eventually to rural areas as well. D

Part III: JRC audit on the
WJP Rule of Law Index 2012-2013
|
SUMMARY
The JRC analysis suggests that the
conceptualized multi-level structure oI
the WJP Rule oI Law Index 2012-2013
is statistically coherent and balanced
(i.e., none oI the eight dimensions is
dominated by an underlying component).
Furthermore, the analysis has oIIered
statistical justifcation Ior the equal
weights and the use oI arithmetic
averaging at the various levels oI
aggregation. Country ranks across the
eight dimensions are also Iairly robust
to methodological changes related to the
estimation oI missing data, weighting or
aggregation rule (less than + 3 positions
shiIt in 90 oI the cases).
The assessment oI conceptual and
statistical coherence oI the World Justice
Project (WJP) Rule oI Law Index and
the estimation oI the impact oI modeling
choices on a country`s perIormance are
useIul steps: they add to the transparency
and reliability oI the Index and to build
confdence in the narratives supported
by the measure. Modeling the cultural
and subjective concepts underlying rule
oI law at a national scale around the
globe raises practical challenges related
to the combination oI these concepts
into a single set oI numbers.
The Econometrics and Applied
Statistics Unit at the European
Commission Joint Research Centre in
Ispra (Italy) has undertaken Ior a third
consecutive year, upon invitation oI the
WJP, a thorough statistical assessment
oI the Index
1
. Fine-tuning suggestions
made by the JRC Ior the previous two
releases oI the Index were already taken
on board by the WJP. However, due to
some re-structuring oI the Iramework
Irom 46 to 44
2
sub-Iactors and Irom
479 to 516 survey questions, the WJP
requested an audit oI the Index Ior a
third time. The WJP Rule oI Law Index
was assessed along two main avenues:
the conceptual and statistical coherence
oI the structure, and the impact oI key
modeling choices on its WJP Rule oI
Law 2012-2013 scores and rankings.
CONCEPTUAL AND
STATISTICAL COHERENCE
IN THE WJP RULE OF LAW
FRAMEWORK
Country data delivered to the JRC
were average scores across academics
or individuals along 516 survey
questions (henceIorth variables) Ior
97 countries. These variables are
not aIIected by outliers or skewed
1 The JRC analysis was based on the recommendations oI the OECD
(2008) Handbook on Composite Indicators, and on more recent research
Irom the JRC. The JRC auditing studies oI composite indicators are available
at http://composite-indicators.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ .
2 A total oI only 44 sub-Iactors accounts Ior the Iact that neither sub-Iactor
1.1, 9.1, 9.2 nor 9.3 are covered in the 2012-2013 Index.

, except Ior 13 variables
spread across Iive dimensions in the
WJP Rule oI Law Index
4
. Given the
high number oI variables combined
in building a dimension, the skewed
distributions oI those variables do
not bias the results. The 2012-2013
dataset is characterized by excellent
data coverage (96 in a matrix oI
516 variables 97 countries). Data
coverage per dimension and country
is also very good or excellent. A
Iurther data quality issue relates to
the treatment oI missing values. The
WJP, Ior reasons oI transparency
and simplicity, calculated sub-Iactor
scores using only available
inIormation Ior each country. This
choice, which is common in relevant
contexts, might discourage countries
Irom reporting low data values.
We tested the implications oI no
imputation` versus the use oI the
expectation-maximization method
Ior the estimation oI missing data
and discuss this in the second part oI
the assessment together with other
modeling choices.
Principal component analysis
(PCA) was used to assess to which
extent the conceptual Iramework is
conIirmed by statistical approaches
and to identiIy eventual pitIalls. The
analysis conIirms the WJP Rule oI
Law Index 2012-2013 structure, as
within each oI the eight dimensions
the Iirst latent Iactor captures between
58 up to 87 oI the variance (best
result Ior the dimension on Absence of
Corruption). A more detailed analysis
oI the correlation structure conIirms
3 Groeneveld and Meeden (1984) set the criteria Ior absolute skewness
above 1 and kurtosis above 3.5. The skewness criterion was relaxed to
above 2` to account Ior the small sample (97 countries).
4 In the WJP Rule oI Law Index sub-Iactors` are equivalent to sub-
dimensions.
the expectation that the sub-Iactors are
more correlated to their own dimension
than to any other dimension and all
correlations are strong and positive.
Hence, the conceptual grouping
oI sub-Iactors into dimensions is
statistically supported by the data.
Finally, the eight dimensions share
a single latent Iactor that captures
81 oI the total variance. This latter
result could be used as a statistical
justiIication Ior aggregating Iurther
the eight dimensions into a single
index by using a weighted arithmetic
average. This is not currently done, as
the WJP team aims to shed more light
to the dimensions oI the rule oI law as
opposed to an overall index.
Next, tests Iocused on identiIying
whether the eight dimensions oI
the WJP Rule oI Law Index are
statistically well-balanced in the
underlying sub-Iactors. In the present
context given that all dimensions are
built as simple arithmetic averages
(i.e. equal weights Ior the relative
sub-Iactors), our analysis answers
the question: are the sub-factors
reallv equallv important?` We used
an importance measure` (henceIorth
S
i
), known as correlation ratio or Iirst
order sensitivity measure (Saltelli
et al., 2008). The S
i
describes the
expected reduction in the variance oI
the eight dimension scores that would
be obtained iI a given sub-Iactor could
be Iixed`. As discussed in Paruolo et
al., 2012, we can take this as a measure
oI importance
5
; thus iI sub-Iactors are
5 The Pearson correlation ratio or frst order sensitivity measure oIIers a
precise defnition oI importance, that is the expected reduction in variance
oI the CI that would be obtained iI a variable could be fxed`; it can be used
regardless oI the degree oI correlation between variables; it is model-Iree,
in that it can be applied also in non-linear aggregations; it is not invasive, in
that no changes are made to the index or to the correlation structure oI the
indicators.

values should not diIIer too much.
Results are reassuring: all sub-Iactors
are important in classiIying countries
within each dimension, though some
sub-Iactors are slightly more important
than others (see Table 4). Although
still acceptable, the worst results Ior
this kind oI coherence analysis are:
under Fundamental Rights dimension
(D4), the contribution oI the sub-Iactor
4.1 (equal treatment and absence
of discrimination) compared to the
remaining sub-Iactors on the basis oI
the lower eIIective weight. Similarly,
sub-Iactors 3.2 (civil conflict is
effectivelv limited) and sub-Iactor
7.5 (civil fustice is not subfect to
unreasonable delavs) have a lower
contribution to the variance oI the
respective dimension compared to the
other sub-Iactors in those dimensions.
All together the degree oI coherence oI
this version oI the Index is remarkable,
i.e. all dimensions look balanced and
coherent.
IMPACT OF MODELING
ASSUMPTIONS ON
THE WJP RULE OF LAW
INDEX RESULTS
Every dimension in the WJP Rule oI
Law Index is the outcome oI choices:
the Iramework (driven by theoretical
models and expert opinion), the
variables included, the estimation or
not oI missing values, the normalization
oI the variables, the weights assigned
to the variables and sub-Iactors, and
the aggregation method, among other
elements. Some oI these choices are
based on expert opinion, or common
practice, driven by statistical analysis
or the need Ior ease oI communication.
The aim oI the uncertainty analysis is
to assess to what extent these choices
might aIIect country classiIication.
We have dealt with these uncertainties
simultaneously in order to assess their
joint inIluence and Iully acknowledge
their implications. Data are considered
to be error-Iree since the WJP team
already undertook a double-check

control oI potential outliers and eventual
errors and typos were corrected during
this phase.
The robustness assessment oI the
WJP Rule oI Law Index was based
on a combination oI a Monte Carlo
experiment and a multi-modeling
approach. This type oI assessment
aims to respond to eventual criticism
that the country scores associated with
aggregate measures are generally not
calculated under conditions oI certainty,
even iI they are Irequently presented
as such (Saisana et al., 2005, 2011).
The Monte Carlo simulation related
to the weights and comprised 1,000
runs, each corresponding to a diIIerent
set oI weights oI the sub-Iactors
underlying each dimension, randomly
sampled Irom uniIorm continuous
distributions centered in the reIerence
values. The choice oI the range Ior
the weights` variation was driven by
two opposite needs: on the one hand,
the need to ensure a wide enough
interval to have meaningIul robustness
checks; on the other hand, the need to
respect the rationale oI the WJP that
the sub-Iactors and equally important
when calculating a dimension. Given
these considerations, limit values oI
uncertainty intervals have been deIined
as shown in Table 5.
The multi-modeling approach involved
combinations oI the remaining two key
assumptions on the no imputation`
oI missing data and the aggregation
Iormula within a dimension. The WJP
calculated sub-Iactor scores using
only available inIormation Ior each
country
6
. This choice (oIten termed as
no imputation`) was conIronted with
the application oI the Expectation-
Maximization Method Ior the estimation
oI the missing data
7
. Regarding the WJP
assumption on the aggregation Iunction
(arithmetic average), and despite the Iact
that it received statistical support (see
principal component analysis results in
the previous section), decision-theory
practitioners have challenged this type
6 Note that here no imputation` is equivalent to replacing missing values
with the average oI the available data within each sub-Iactor.
7 The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm (Little and Rubin, 2002)
is an iterative procedure that fnds the maximum likelihood estimates oI the
parameter vector by repeating two steps: (1) The expectation E-step: Given
a set oI parameter estimates, such as a mean vector and covariance matrix
Ior a multivariate normal distribution, the E-step calculates the conditional
expectation oI the complete-data log likelihood given the observed data and
the parameter estimates. (2) The maximization M-step: Given a complete-
data log likelihood, the M-step fnds the parameter estimates to maximize the
complete-data log likelihood Irom the E-step. The two steps are iterated until
the iterations converge.

oI aggregation because oI inherent
theoretical inconsistencies lined to
their Iully compensatory nature, in
which a comparative advantage oI
a Iew variables can compensate a
comparative disadvantage oI many
variables. This oIIsetting might not
always be desirable when dealing with
Iundamental aspects oI a concept such
as rule oI law. Hence, we considered
the geometric average instead,
which is a partially compensatory
approach
8
. Consequently, we tested
Iour models based on the combination
oI no imputation versus expectation-
maximization and arithmetic versus
geometric average. Combined with the
1,000 simulations per model to account
Ior the uncertainty in the weights
across the sub-Iactors, we carried out
altogether 4,000 simulations.
The main results oI the uncertainty
analysis are provided in Figure 9,
which shows median ranks and 90
intervals computed across the 4,000
Monte Carlo simulations Ior Absence of
Corruption (D2, one oI the most robust
dimensions) and Ior Order and Securitv
(D3, one oI the least robust dimensions).
Countries are ordered Irom best to
worst according to their reIerence rank
in the WJP (black line), the dot being
the simulated median rank. Error bars
represent, Ior each country, the 90
interval across all simulations. Ranks in
all eight dimensions are very robust to
the modeling assumptions: 90 percent
oI the countries shiIt with respect to the
simulated median less than + 2 positions
in Limited Government Powers (D1) and
Absence of Corruption (D2); less than +
3 positions in Regulatorv Enforcement
8 In the geometric average, sub-Iactors are multiplied as opposed to
summed in the arithmetic average. Sub-Iactor weights appear as exponents
in the multiplication. To avoid close to zero values biasing the geometric
average, we re-scaled linearly the sub-Iactors scores to a minimum oI 0.1.
(D6), Civil Justice (D7) and Criminal
Justice (D8); less than + 4 positions in
Fundamental Rights (D4); less than +
5 positions in Open Government (D5);
less than + 6 positions in Order and
Securitv (D3).
The Iact that the dimension on Absence
of Corruption (D2) is one oI the most
robust in the WJP Rule oI Law Index
with respect to modeling assumptions
and also very coherent (as discussed
in the previous section, see Table 4)

is all the more noteworthy given its
inclusion in the Corruption Perception
Index oI Transparency International (as
one oI the thirteen measures describing
perception oI corruption in the public
sector and among politicians).
Overall across all 97 countries and
eight dimensions oI the rule oI law,
there is an absolute shiIt oI less than 3
positions with respect to the simulated
median rank in 90 oI the cases. Note
that in the 2011 release oI the Index
(66 countries) the respective shiIt was
merely 1 position Ior 90 oI the cases.
This should not be interpreted as the
2012-2013 Index being less robust given
the higher number oI countries included
this year (97 in 2012-2013, over 66 in
2011).
Simulated 90 intervals across 4,000
Monte Carlo runs are narrow enough
Ior most countries (less than 6 positions
in 75 oI the cases) to allow Ior
meaningIul inIerences to be drawn. Few
countries have relatively wide intervals
(more than 15 positions): none on D1;
Thailand on D2; Ethiopia, Indonesia,
Iran, Jamaica, Jordan, Philippines and
Sri Lanka on D3; none on D4; Albania,
China, Iran, Madagascar, Malaysia,
Senegal, Sri Lanka, and UAE on D5;
none on D6; Croatia and Madagascar on
D7; Peru on D8. These relatively wide
intervals are due to compensation oI
low perIormance on some sub-Iactors
with a very good perIormance on other
sub-Iactors in a given dimension (see
country proIiles in the main part oI the
report, starting on page 57). These cases
have been Ilagged herein as part oI the
uncertainty analysis in order to give
more transparency in the entire process
and to help appreciate the WJP Rule oI
Law Index results with respect to the
choices made during the development
phase.
CONCLUSION
The JRC analysis suggests that the
conceptualized multi-level structure oI
the WJP Rule oI Law Index 2012-2013
is statistically coherent and balanced
(i.e., none oI the eight dimensions
is dominated by an underlying
component). Furthermore, the analysis
has oIIered statistical justiIication
Ior the equal weights and the use oI
arithmetic averaging at the various
levels oI aggregation which should
not be taken Ior granted when linear
aggregation is concerned. Country
ranks across the eight dimensions are
also Iairly robust to methodological
changes related to the estimation oI
missing data, weighting or aggregation
rule (less than + 3 positions shiIt in 90
oI the cases). A hypothetical aggregated
Rule oI Law Index would also appear
statistically justiIied given the data.
Finally, the Iact that the dimension on
Absence oI Corruption is especially
coherent and robust in the WJP Rule
oI Law Index is noteworthy given its
inclusion in the Corruption Perception
Index oI Transparency International.

About the WJP
|
The World Justice Project (WJP), an
independent, non-proIit organization,
develops communities oI opportunity
and equity by advancing the rule oI law
worldwide.
The rule oI law helps people and
communities thrive. EIIective rule oI
law helps reduce corruption, improve
public health, enhance education, liIt
people Irom poverty and protect them
Irom injustices and dangers large and
small. The World Justice Project is one
oI the world`s Ioremost resources on
the importance oI the rule oI law.
The World Justice Project engages
leaders in countries across the globe and
Irom all work disciplines to advance the
rule oI law. Our work spurs government
reIorms, it develops practical on-the-
ground programs that support the rule
oI law and it increases understanding
oI how the rule oI law is important to
people and the communities where they
live.
Founded by William H. Neukom in
2006 as a presidential initiative oI the
American Bar Association (ABA), and
with the initial support oI 21 other
strategic partners, The World Justice
Project transitioned into an independent
501(c)(3) non-proIit organization
in 2010. Its oIIices are located in
Washington, DC, and Seattle, WA,
USA.
GOALS AND
PROGRAM AREAS
Advancing the rule oI law around
the world is the central goal oI the
World Justice Project. Establishing
the rule oI law is Iundamental to
achieving communities oI opportunity
and equity - communities that oIIer
sustainable economic development,
accountable government, and respect
Ior Iundamental rights. Without the rule
oI law, medicines do not reach health
Iacilities due to corruption; women
in rural areas remain unaware oI their
rights; people are killed in criminal
violence; corrupt governments divert
public resources needed Ior public
works; and businesses` costs increase
because oI expropriation risk. The rule
oI law is the Ioundation to improving
public health, saIeguarding Iundamental
human rights, ensuring security, and
Iighting poverty.
The WJP`s deIinition oI the rule oI
law is organized under Iour universal
principles and is derived Irom
established international standards and
norms:
The government and its oIfcials and
agents are accountable under the
law;
The laws are clear, publicized, stable
and Iair, and protect Iundamental

rights, including security oI persons
and property;
The process by which the laws are
enacted, administered, and enIorced
is accessible, Iair, and eIfcient; and
Justice is provided by competent,
ethical, and independent
representatives and neutrals who are
oI suIfcient number, have adequate
resources, and refect the makeup oI
the communities they serve.
This defnition has been tested and refned
through extensive consultations with
experts Irom around the world.
The work oI the World Justice Project
is Iounded on two premises: the rule oI
law is the Ioundation oI communities oI
opportunity and equity and multidisciplinary
collaboration is the most eIIective way
to advance the rule oI law. Everyone is a
stakeholder in advancing justice.
The Project has three complementary
programs: Research and Scholarship, The
World Justice Project Rule oI Law Index,
and Mainstreaming practical on-the-ground
programs to extend the rule oI law.
The WJP`s Mainstreaming initiatives
strive to make rule oI law advancement
as Iundamental to the thinking and
work oI other proIessionals as it is
to lawyers and judges. One oI the
ways the WJP achieves reIorms in
rule oI law is through on-the-ground
programs conducted with leaders
oI government, businesses, civil
society and individuals across work
disciplines in countries throughout
the world. The WJP convenes these
leaders to fnd common ground,
to examine how the Iundamental
importance oI the rule oI law matters
in the everyday lives oI people
in their own communities and to
incubate rule oI law reIorms. Since
2006, the WJP has held three World
Justice Forums and nine regional
outreach meetings on fve continents,
attracting hundreds oI leaders Irom
more than one hundred countries.
The WJP Rule oI Law Index is
an innovative assessment tool
designed to provide a detailed and
comprehensive picture oI the extent
to which countries adhere to the
rule oI law in practice. The Index
provides detailed inIormation and
original data regarding a variety
oI dimensions oI the rule oI law,
which enables stakeholders to
assess a nation`s adherence to the
rule oI law in practice, identiIy a
nation`s strengths and weaknesses
in comparison to similarly situated
countries, and track changes over
time.
Research and Scholarship program:
The WJP supports rigorous research
that examines the contributions oI
the rule oI law to various aspects
oI economic, political, and social
development and sheds new light
on how to strengthen the rule oI
law. The WJP scholarship program
is co-chaired by Robert L. Nelson,
the MacCrate Research Chair in the
Legal ProIession at the American
Bar Foundation, and Margaret Levi,
the Jere L. Bacharach ProIessor
oI International Studies at the
University oI Washington. The
Scholarship program is currently
pursuing an ambitious research
agenda studying the eIIectiveness oI
the rule oI law in various domains
oI social liIe, the interdependencies
among the institutional components
oI the rule oI law, and the causal
mechanisms by which the rule oI law
aIIects economic and political liIe.

Laws of justice which Hammurabi, the wise king, established That the strong might not injure the
weak, in order to protect the widows and orphans..., in order to declare justice in the land, to settle all
disputes, and heal all injuries.
CODEX HAMMURABI
I could adjudicate lawsuits as well as anyone. But I would prefer to make lawsuits unnecessary.
ANALECTS OF CONFUCIUS
The Law of Nations, however, is common to the entire human race, for all nations have established
for themselves certain regulations exacted by custom and human necessity.
CORPUS JURIS CIVILIS
Treat the people equally in your court and give them equal attention, so that the noble shall not
aspire to your partiality, nor the humble despair of your justice.
JUDICIAL GUIDELINES FROM UMAR BIN AL-KHATTAB, THE SECOND KHALIFA OF ISLAM
No freeman is to be taken or imprisoned or disseised of his free tenement or of his liberties or free
customs, or outlawed or exiled or in any way ruined, nor will we go against such a man or send
against him save by lawful judgement of his peers or by the law of the land. To no-one will we sell or
deny or delay right or justice.
MAGNA CARTA
Good civil laws are the greatest good that men can give and receive. They are the source of morals,
the palladium of property, and the guarantee of all public and private peace. If they are not the
foundation of government, they are its supports; they moderate power and help ensure respect for
it, as though power were justice itself. They aect every individual; they mingle with the primary
activities of his life; they follow him everywhere. They are often the sole moral code of a people, and
they are always part of its freedom. Finally, good civil laws are the consolation of every citizen for the
sacrices that political law demands of him for the city, protecting, when necessary, his person and his
property as though he alone were the whole city.
JEAN-TIENNE-MARIE PORTALIS. DISCOURS PRLIMINAIRE DU PREMIER PROJET DE CODE CIVIL
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights Everyone is entitled to all the rights
and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex,
language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
ISBN (print): 978-0-9882846-
The rule of law is the foundation for communities of opportunity and equityit is the predicate for
the eradication of poverty, violence, corruption, pandemics, and other threats to civil society.
WILLIAM H. NEUKOM, FOUNDER, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE WORLD JUSTICE PROJECT
The Rule of Law Index provides an unparalleled mechanism to help understand how law functions
in countries around the world and assess where there are areas for improvement or praise. It is ripe
with original, independent, and interesting data some surprising and some that nally conrms
what societies have known intuitively for a long time. In all cases, I am optimistic that the Index will
advance necessary debates to improve the policies, procedures, and practices that shape rule of law
around the world.
BILL GATES SR., CO-CHAIR, BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION
As the most comprehensive measurement tool currently available to legal and judicial reformers,
the Rule of Law Index highlights the strengths and weaknesses of national systems, thereby enabling
comparisons among countries within a region or of similar GDP and, hopefully, will be widely
accepted as a means of improving judicial services.
ELLEN GRACIE NORTHFLEET, FORMER CHIEF JUSTICE OF BRAZIL
When we talk about the rule of law, we mean more than adherence to the laws of the country
whatever they may be. There has to be a substantial content to the law itself. If the rule of law is
to have any meaning at all, as a constitutional principle, it must have a substantial element of
protection of fundamental rights. And that is one of the great values, I believe, of the WJP Rule of Law
Index. Where theres a culture of respect for the rule of law, it is a bulwark against injustice.
ARTHUR CHASKALSON, FORMER CHIEF JUSTICE OF SOUTH AFRICA
As an educator, Im convinced that access and equity in higher education isnt possible in regions
where a cogent Rule of Law is absent; as an epidemiologist, I have been most sensitive to the Indexs
development as a statistical tool which will have a wide ranging impact.
HARRIS PASTIDES, PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
